The creator
This is how a day at work goes.
First, I draw out my idea to visualise it and then go on to create the pattern, on kraft paper or not, listening to my feelings and my inspiration at the time.
The part that inspires me most is the construction of the canvas. With it, and starting from my idea, I can begin to create its structure and research its style.
A material, a drape, a feel, the way the fabric falls...
All this construction of the canvas will enable me to see a silhouette based on oppositions of material and to find a balance by playing with a structured blur, transparency or relief.
This stage begins to build the desired silhouette, an attitude in its asymmetrical, balanced, sculptural style, sublimating the body, the personality of a woman.
The end result is a search for sophisticated, unexpected elegance through exclusive, limited-edition models & luxury ready-to-wear mini-capsules.
e style, the world of IZEULY, my source of inspiration is architectural in the construction of a model. I work horizontally and vertically to create seduction and desire for future encounters, collaborations and partnerships.
Aude.
Since the 1980s, I've been drawing a lot, objects, faces, then my sketches turned to fashion designs. In the summer of 1989, I had this idea to sew black nylon fringes between the side seams of my jeans. The result was great.
The idea was taken up by a fashion designer and then by the mass market. A year at a private fashion school in Toulouse...
I have this need to do things myself, to create, weave and embroider....
In Paris, I was a small hand, but not the only one. I work a lot, going from fashion house to fashion house, from contract to contract, sometimes non-stop. Collections, showrooms, fashion week, workshops, boutiques, customers, subcontractors who work for these houses... I learn, and at the same time I train in the assembly of prototypes, pattern making and made-to-measure, I move forward slowly.
For 8 years, I was able to discover the Valentino fashion house and above all the Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri duo. In my hands, I've had the chance to work on some beautiful dresses and collections, and the chance to discover this house and learn other techniques and ways of doing things. Made in Italia.
The attention to detail, the quality of the materials, the cut, the style, the excellence of the craftsmanship.
I aspire to these same codes and values. With them, I realised that I loved this job more than anything and that I had to do something with my ideas...
