Born into the apex of New Zealand fashion, Carmody spent foundational years immersed in the creative pressure and sophisticated world of haute couture. Models, preparing for the upcoming fashion shows for his father, renowned designer Peter Homan, often lined the family's living room—a direct continuation of a legacy established by their designer grandmother.
This environment provided an unparalleled aesthetic education. At the pivotal age of 15, Carmody began his professional journey into session styling, mastering hair artistry for their father's collections.
Hair became his essential medium—the needle and thread—where the high-fashion perspective remains irrevocably ingrained. The result is a signature style built on artistry and the powerful, defining influence of a lifetime spent at the intersection of hair and runway architecture.
