Since the 1980s, I've been drawing a lot, objects, faces, then my sketches turned to fashion designs. In the summer of 1989, I had this idea to sew black nylon fringes between the side seams of my jeans.  The result was great. 

​

The idea was taken up by a fashion designer and then by the mass market. A year at a private fashion school in Toulouse...

I have this need to do things myself, to create, weave and embroider....

In Paris, I was a small hand, but not the only one. I work a lot, going from fashion house to fashion house, from contract to contract, sometimes non-stop. Collections, showrooms, fashion week, workshops, boutiques, customers, subcontractors who work for these houses... I learn, and at the same time I train in the assembly of prototypes, pattern making and made-to-measure, I move forward slowly.

​

For 8 years, I was able to discover the Valentino fashion house and above all the Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri duo. In my hands, I've had the chance to work on some beautiful dresses and collections, and the chance to discover this house and learn other techniques and ways of doing things. Made in Italia.

The attention to detail, the quality of the materials, the cut, the style, the excellence of the craftsmanship. 

​

I aspire to these same codes and values. With them, I realised that I loved this job more than anything and that I had to do something with my ideas...
