Christophe Blondin-Péchabrier Talking Changes, Taking Chances

Artistic Director
About

I was graduated as superior Technician in Plastic Art (industrial /product design) - and joined the same year the Daniel Hechter team as Accessories designer. I went on to work under icon designers, Kenzo, Nino CERRUTI and Karl LAGERFELD, and was also in charge of the Louis Vuitton Cup collection (in 1995) by Kenzo ; designing both women's , men's fashion and accessories. Re-inventing the resolutely sumptuous LANVIN cutting and style for men as artistic director, I launched as freelance designer, the fascinating PORSCHE DESIGN fashion concept and worked for TOD'S as accessories designer. I went back to DANIEL HECHTER PARIS as Artistic Director, repositioning the brand from Heritage to Premium Fashion contemporary style, opening a new segment based onto wearable smart technologies � and sustainability ♻ and changing the name of the brand into HECHTER PARIS Working since years with 66 countries, I have an international expertise in design & product development, market survey and product merchandising for omni-channel distribution. Interest: kinetic art, synergologie, robotics, comics, contemporary danse, new low tech technologies, biography and design.
