My guest this week is luxury fashion designer Ricardo Bernardino. I’m speaking to Ricardo mere weeks before his debut at Paris Fashion Week, where he will unveil his new “Sea to Silk Collection.” This bright and bold luxury collection features the artwork of Michel Deville, who was inspired by the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean. Michel has been painting for 70 years, but has refused to sell any of his paintings because he considers them all as his children.

So, how did one chance jogging encounter transform Michel’s art into a collection by first-time designer Ricardo? Listen now to find out!

About Us
Who will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde? How are new artforms created, developed, honed? And where exactly do today's artists and creatives find their inspirations?

Each week, join City of Muses host Jennifer Geraghty as she sits down with contemporary artists, poets, dancers, designers, and performers to explore what inspires them, what their creative processes are like, where their ideas come from, and how Paris has helped or hindered their dreams come true.

Inspiration and creativity meet in Paris, the City of Muses.
