| Castro, jewelry designer, creator of dreams |
He scored points simply for being at my favorite restaurant, 2 years ago. Once I struck up conversation, I noticed the bear claw around his neck; he told me about his jewelry, I told him about my "dirty" writing, we discussed race. Since then there were run-ins in SoHo and the LES when he wasn't in Europe or Asia racking up buyers or in Paris (le sigh) for Fashion Week. A few blocks away from the Art For Change Gallery, we met at his studio for this interview.

My name is Castro, like Fidel Castro, like Cuba.
I’m a creator, a creator of dreams. At this point in my dreams I’m
creating jewelry, leather accessories—whatever comes to my mind. Before that, I
did clothing, women’s clothing.
