Biography
After the Studio Berçot, I trained on Sourcing & Up cycling Vintage clothing at Martin Margiela's artisanal creative studio. I developed successfully that experience at Amy Chan, New York.
Back in Paris, i assisted Nicole Crassat at French Elle, and became a Fashion Editor and photo stylist. I collaborated with international Press and Publicity for 10 years. I analyze up coming trends, create themes, scenography images and brand identity, assemble and coordinate photo teams and production. During that period of time I also do consulting for great creator such as Kenzo, Moon Young Hee,Titi Kwan, on Artistic Direction, inspirational research, design and coordinate four collections, styling runway shows.
Being closed to the creative process make me desire to go back to Design. I imagine women’s luxury prêt à porter brand, a knitwear collection, under my name. I design, create and technically produce four collections of 30 models, made in France, with Italian yarns. Sold in Maria Luisa Printemps, Franck & Fils. The diversity of brands and projects with whom I have worked since then has given me technical skills in knitwear and cut-and-sew.
I work as a Knitwear designer, Fashion designer and Consultant, Collection Coordinator. I am currently working on an organic Knitwear capsule collection project, made in France.
Expertise
Fashion Design/ Trends/ Knitwear/ Brand's identity/ Up-cycling
My expansive experience results in a mastery of both the stylistic and technical aspects of a collection, including respecting and enhancing a brand’s identity. I have built my experience as a designer and consultant experience alongside great creators such as Martin Margiela, Kenzo and Thierry Colson.
Understanding and analyzing trends is also a skill that I master and incorporate into designing collections that work with a brand’s identity and are a commercial success.
As a senior knitwear designer, my experience includes creating a knitwear collection under my name. the diversity of brands and projects with whom I have worked since then has given me technical skills in knitwear and cut-and-sew. I have a deep knowledge of every step of the process- from concept to production- with an eye on brand’s integrity and overall identity.
Through my Up-cycling skills and organic yarn sourcing I can offer an eco-responsible fashion alternative.
