He met Jose Victor Rodriguez Carro, 72, also known as Victorio, and Jose Luis Media del Correll, 68, nicknamed Lucino, in their teens in the late 1960s.
In 1975, the two formed the “Victorio a Lucino” brand. They made their international debut in 1985 by participating in the New York International Exhibition. The New York Times hailed Victorio and Lucino’s “tight shirts and lace skirts as touching ethnic symbols” and “were huge fans of American customers.”
