Bright young & old things

Let me wish you an Happy New Year with my flower dress which is a costume for a an evolutive performance, with a net structure where the audience add the flower according to its own creativity. (more picture on my instagram gallery)

In the middle of the dead vegetation at the heart of the winter, this flower dress blossom as a the promise of the spring return and the creative life after an hibernation time.

The best event of this beginning of the year: Sue Kreitzman window in Selfridges who basically transplanted her magical & psychedelic living room on Oxford street for Bright Old Things.

Among de monochrome formatted commercial windows of the Main street, your eyes are automatically attracted but this outrageous symphony of colours and there is always a little group taking pictures or selfies in front of Sue's master piece. Sue Kreitzman managed brilliantly to feat of recreate an art gallery on the commercial high street and bring a wind of creativity and self expression to the masses!

I am so proud to have my portrait with her painted by Ella Guru. No everybody can boast about having his painting done by a talented artist and even less can boast about having it exhibited on Oxford street!

Sue's colourful tribe! Diane Goldie made the gorgeous kimono that Sue's mannequin is wearing, Ella made the painting and Anna supervised the whole installation!

Wearing my own dress & head pieces at the launch event. The dress is made with lot of similar barbies heads alternating blond and brunette creating tassels!

Dresses & accessories for the editorial "pretty in pink" styled by Christobelle Batchelor, pink is one of my favourite colours, not because it is girly but because it is beautiful!

My creations used for a fashion shoot with the singer Pharella (check her Facebook page) styled by La Zazu, I like to work with artists and performers because I seem my design are sometimes more relevant to stage costume than fashion outfits.

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!
