About me

I am a qualified designer with many years of experience designing lingerie/corsetry, swim and beach wear collections. I am also experienced in the design of women's ready to wear and accessories.

Through my various functions I have acquired and developed a high level of knowledge and competence in dealing with a wide variety of product ranges at different levels.

My long experience as a Head Designer at LACELIER (LOU, VARIANCE, BESTFORM) and at MAISON LEJABY for the lingerie, swimwear and homewear collections has allowed me to understand and perfectly manage the process of creating these technical products. I am comfortable with the responsibility of the conception and design of entire collections, from the choice of forms and colours through to fabrics while respecting the prevailing trends, the meeting of deadlines, corresponding with suppliers and foreign factories, assuring the quality control of products, being aware of market forces, honouring the codes of the house, convincing customers and contributing to the marketing strategy for finished products. These are all facets of the business that I master and am comfortably familiar with today.

All of this allows me to work closely and efficiently with design and technical teams.

As a designer at Nina Ricci I have create lingerie and swimwear collections and collaborated with the Artistic Director for the 'Premiere' line and runway collections. My experience with Nina Ricci has also led me to work with the various licensees of the brand such as for the socks and tights collections with Wolford and Renown Japan.

Work with NINA RICCI has helped me to gain invaluable insights into the workings of the luxury sector and enabled me to better understand and exploit it's codes. My knowledge in the ready-to-wear and lingerie fields allows me a broad spectrum of creativity and enables me to innovate and find unexpected and refined solutions when designing through different categories.
