Carmen Bucco, founder of Bucco Couture, grew up in foster care when he decided to move out on his own at age 17. Knowing he had to earn a living, Carmen made a humble beginning shining shoes. He had a thirst to learn more about the business, so simultaneously, he worked in his spare time to learn about pressing, dry cleaning, and measuring clothing. Self-educated in clothing construction led him to being recruited by a large formalwear company. Unimpressed with the corporate life, Bucco struck out on his own, dressing people and educating them as to what to wear. Within 3 years of opening Bucco Clothiers he had over 400 clients with no marketing. Today Bucco
