Unzipped: Leo Faibicher

Name
Leo Faibicher

Age
52

Position
Director of Brasilfit and Stylebrazil Shoes

My childhood dream job
Photographer for National Geography

My first job
Working as a photographer in the chaotic and exiting city of Sao Paulo.

My big break
Introducing a dental company to the Brazilian market

My biggest risk
Moving to Australia and starting all over again

My proudest moment
The development of Brasilfit and then seeing Brasilfit worn in the streets of Sydney

My biggest fashion faux pas
The '80s suit era teamed with my moustache

My mentor
Jonh Lennon

If I could do it over
I'd do it all the same but sooner...

If I wasn't in fashion I'd be
A photographer

My idea that never took off
Crossing Asia by bus

In my spare time I
Travel and people watch. Whether it is in Byron Bay, Brazil or Sydney. Nothing beats a great coffee, and even greater company

People would be surprised to know I
Have my origins in Russia, was born in Brazil, feel Italian, am Australian

I want my epitaph to say
All you need is love
