After validating a bachelor's degree at the Beaux-Arts in Toulouse, I completed my training with a master's degree in Fashion Design and Accessories at the Geneva School of Art and Design. This double degree allowed me to emphasize both the creation and the conceptual aspect of my pieces. Indeed I conceive my work as designer in terms of aesthetics as thoughts and criticisms. For me, clothing is a pretext for understanding historical elements, as well as for studying the evolution of anthropological and sociological questions arising from it; the whole constituting the indispensable base of each of my interventions. I was particularly interested in the organizational device that the gender operates in the field of clothing through the sexual dimorphism that prevailed throughout the nineteenth century. This is how my vision of clothing tends to shed the ostentatious ornamentation of women's clothing to bring out the beauty of matter and details; revealing all the fineness of a contemporary look. At the same time, my creative work is concerned with the influence of the phenomenon of rationalization in modern ready-to-wear, gradually bringing the masculine aesthetic to be confused with the idea of the neutral. Thus my creations are in favor of the appropriation of the garment, to offer a base of quality clothing that can come to decorate according to its moods.
