ABOUT ME

Growing up in both Paris and Djibouti, I discovered the art of meandering between cultures: the YSL boutique on rue Saint Honoré, Paris, small tailor’s shops in Djibouti City, Africa, and the creativity of a stylish Italian grand-mother who taught me how to sew at age five.

​

After studying philosophy while I filled my notebooks with sketches, I followed my passion for Modern Art at Panthéon La Sorbonne in Paris and started my career as a modern sculptor with my first exhibition in New York City in 2010. Eager to learn and to experience more. I later joined Studio Berçot where I learned to reveal my inner designer’s

personal aesthetic: custom pieces for private clients at prestigious events, wedding dresses, costume design for films, music projects and illustration assignments enhanced my toolkit.

​

In 2014, after six short months as designer's assistant in Vicomte A's Studio, I was incharge of developing the first womenswear collection in the brand’s history. Trained by a former Hermes Senior Designer and mentored by a former Paco Raban Artistic Director, I learnt French Couture: high quality fabric, elaborate patterns, and

precise craftsmanship.

​

Filled with new knowledge and determination, I moved to Shanghai, China. I further developed my eye working on various collections as well as learning a lot more about the production side of the industry, working closely with merchandisers, production managers, and suppliers.

​

After more than ten years working in fashion, I have experienced the creative, the technical, and the production sides of the industry. From researching trends to sourcing, from pattern-making to product matrix, from sketching to technical files, from campaign shoots to product management.
