CARLOS MANGUBAT: THERE IS BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING

Meet Carlos. He's a stylist, creative and art director for big-name magazines like Vogue & Bazaar, and despite being colourblind, he's learned to see the beauty and potential in everything.

ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT MYSELF:

My resilience towards adversity

THE LAST TREND I FOLLOWED OR UNFOLLOWED.

Y2K - never sure if I followed or unfollowed?

SOMETHING I USED TO STRUGGLE WITH:

Accepting things I can’t control!

ONE PIECE OF ADVICE I’D GIVE MY YOUNGER SELF.

The things you think matter at the time, feel like a speckle when you get older and wiser.  So don’t sweat the small stuff it’s not worth it!

IF MY WORK COULD TELL A STORY, IT WOULD SAY…

There is beauty and potential in everything, even if it isn’t apparent immediately.

WHY STYLING…

Why not? I always wanted a career in fashion and at university I decided to become a stylist.

A SECRET NO-ONE KNOWS…

I’m colourblind and work in fashion!

PICK ONE: MONEY, FAME OR FREEDOM?

Money - money brings fame and potentiality too!

A CREATIVE RISK I’VE TAKEN THAT PAID OFF

Moving to London to pursue fashion (and then having to move back!)

THE STRANGEST THING I OWN

I just bought a wrestling cap
