Her expressions are made with exquisite fabrics, mixing art and fashion. Her clothing and accessories support colors and gestures inspired by art techniques such as watercolor, graphics, calligraphy, sculpture. She declines them into paintings of silkmuslin, wool paintings, ribbon drawings pleated and sewn as a spontaneous origami - calligraphy. 

Unique touches made by hand give character to each piece.

 

Her original technique with ribbons and silk strokes give a very personnal expression to the creator’s sensibility: Art on fashion.

Most fabrics are oeko tex (planet friendly) or upcycled from luxury brands. The buttons are hand made by a craft artisan in France. The ribbons come from Italy.
