Name: Mario Alberto Gallegos Jr Date of birth: June 20, 1984 Birth place: Dallas, Tx heritage: Chicano, Mexican- American Age: 24intro: My love for fashion started when I was just a little boy, when my grandmother would sew here own curtains and bedding she would only let me watch at times”sewing was not something little boys did” . Talking and sewing, she would tell me stories of what kinds of dresses she would get made for a couple of dollars back in the 40's and 50's. Beatriz Faz, my grandmother became one of my main inspiration in life. My mother aswell, had a taste in fashion, opening here bridal shops in the late 90's. Which broaden my mind in a new world of clothing. The dream of being a fashion designer started in my senior year in high school carrying over to college. I first started my studies in fashion design in 2003 at El Centro College. Since then I have been participating in Fashion Show all around Dallas. My Goal is to get known here in Texas and around USA. “Fashion gives me an outlet to express my soul and create life memories for all”.
