At an early age I fell in love with fashion after watching a movie set in the 1950's. Since this day I have never stopped drawing silhouettes and have pursued my dream by graduating from one of the most prestigious Parisian Fashion School in 2005, ESAA Duperre. 

 

After starting my career in Stage Costume Design and backstages of High Fashion Shows, I have created my own brand in 2010. Fully committed to my passion I have then quit my job, my country, friends and family to develop my label in Hong-Kong. At the age of 24 I stepped in the challenging life of an entrepreneur, designing several collections a year, finding suppliers, promoting my brand and growing a network of retailers. 

Alongside this adventure I have worked in retail and wholesale for luxury fashion brands until I officially signed up for a new challende with my appointment as Product Developer for a fast-fashion Global Sourcing company in 2015.

​

Still based in Hong-Kong, I handle all R&D actions throughout South East Asia. Nowadays my challenge is to provide an innovative and adequate clothing offer to my clients, in a context where fashion goes always faster and with new dynamics of competition.

​

I hope that this portfolio can give you a better idea of my experience and skills. Through my various projects the red-thread remains my dedication to design.
