My mother was very fashion-oriented, and she started a little children's wear business that became large in this little town. She used to be able to look at a picture of an outfit and just start cutting the fabric right there. Francisco Costa businesschildcut share on social
I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me. Francisco Costa energyexcitehate Change image and share on social
Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing. Francisco Costa amazebeautifulcity share on social

I hate to sound esoteric, but there is something about a house that leads you to that one chair, that one corner, where you just sit and feel comfortable. Francisco Costa chaircomfortablecorner Change image and share on social
Right after high school, I moved to Rio and took classes to become a technician for a manufacturing factory where you had to figure out how to produce 3,000 pairs of jeans.

When I say art influences me, which it does, it's not at all in a literal form. You go and see exhibitions or collections or meet an artist. It's all a compilation. Every moment, at all times, all this information. Then all this information disappears, and it shows up later in the process. Francisco Costa artartistcollection share on social
Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating. Francisco Costa brazilfeelintoxicate Change image and share on social
