Womenswear designer (C&T, denim, Flou, Tailleur, sportswear) with 7 years' experience. During my bachelor in La Chambre Syndicale de la Couture parisienne (IFM) I have done internships in Chanel as Production assistant and product manager's assistant and in Sonia Rykiel as designer's assistant for denim, embroidery and C&T. Those two internships helped me acquire a complete and in-depth experience around my profession of designer. After graduating with distinction from Central Saint Martins I started working in freelance to develop a unisex sporstwear brand made in Portugal. Since 2019 I have been the co-founder and head of design at The Ethiquette, a new sustainable Couture House, https://the-ethiquette.com/. The goal: revalue Haute Couture fabrics and leftover by designing a feminine and elegant style. Head of our studio and atelier, I managed our team of seamtresses and designer's assistant and I designed our collections, Couture and Prêt-à-Couture. Creating this house from scratch helped me become an autonomous designer than can manage a team while working with it.
