Columbia, sequins & glitters

I'm like a magpie, when i'm going to charity shops, my eyes are automatically attracted by the rail with the ugly ice skater 80s sequins outfit or Mickael Jackson style jackets.

For an halloween party, I had to dress as a Rocky horror picture show character. My love for glitters, sequins and shiny materials made me naturally choose Columbia.

I like her cabaret/circus style but I made my own interpretation of the character outfit, making it the most shiny as possible! For the costume, I sewed some black velvet on a golden sequin jacket and some shiny fabric on a jean short.

I have three glitters jacket in my wardrobe that I also wore for disco theme party.

For Portobello Carnival in september, I also wear a sequin 80's dress that I customised with black feather to make it more "Rio de Janeiro Carnival" like.

Welcome in my world

I am a young designer in fashion costume and jewellery. I graduated last year in an MA in Performance Practice & Design at Central Saint Martins in London. I'm particularly interested in costume design, the performative aspect of costume and it social impact on people.

From my background in performance, the importance of clothing is how it allows you to stage yourself, to give information about who you are, or more precisely, about what you want people think you are.

I'm from Paris but I don't have at all the elegant minimalistic French style, I'm more attracted by bright colours, mismatch prints, shiny materials, over the top dresses. I try to build clothes with material which are not fabric, crossing boundaries of the costume experiment. I think that any object from everyday life can become a fashion accessory. Anything can be stitched on to clothes.

Basically, I like CYCLING and RECYCLING. I love going to charity shops or flee markets and seeing the creative potential of everyday objects. i have always created costume with nothing, sometimes with things I found in the street. I like to give second life to old objects and divert them from their original function. In my creations, i'm using a lots of toys, as a common reference from the collective imagery, a reminder of childhood that everybody shares in every country. I like the idea of transforming a piece of clothes into piece of art. With my creations I would like to foster peoples’ creativity and make them proud of themselves in feeling unique, original and different.

If you have some barbies you are not playing with anymore, Legos, little cars or toys, please give it to me, I will use them and give them an other live!
