I'm an apparel designer based in Paris with 9 years of experience working with different sportswear brands. With a strong technical background in all product cathegories, jersey/fleece, knit, woven and outerwear I'm able to adapt to different designer roles. My latest role was designing and developing the kids' collection at Lacoste, where I handled all product cathegories for the boy's line going from 2 years old up to 16 years. Throughout the 6 years spent with the brand in a small team, I was able to gain a solid experience doing the whole process going from research and inspiration, designing and creation, collection launching, fittings and follow up of the development. While being a creative designer always looking to explore different techniques and materials I have a great understanding of the limits within industrial fashion. I know how decode trends, styles and creative directions and have a detailed methodical approach and benefit from a strong technical background. I would love to get in contact with big as well as smaller brands.
