Marrakech resident, Artsi Ifrach is a fashion designer who is better known as Maison ARTC in the fashion world. On a quest for independence, Ifrach has found his sanctuary in Morocco and has been actively creating his “one of a kind” collections since. Artsi – meaning ‘My Country’ in Hebrew and Arabic – lived in Tel Aviv, Paris and Amsterdam before settling in Morocco and has an extensive understanding of multiculturalism. Using colors and prints as his landscape, Artsi’s imaginative designs reflect on space and time. He started fashion designing at the age of 28 while he was living in Amsterdam. From there, he moved to Paris where he was represented by 2m Bureau, showing in the Haute Couture Week.
Today, living and working from Marrakech, his parents’ hometown, he also collaborates with local photographers such as Laila Hida and Mous Lamrabat. With Lamrabat he created an artistic duo called @artsimous, a collaboration of photography that tells a story of cultural crossover, where the inspiration comes from culture, history and art. His goal is to keep the picture as something timeless, that remains long after the collection is finished. “I believe that fashion is a part of art that tells something about, in a period that meets culture and individuality. I am an autodidact, I do not work with design skills, I am working just with creativity and intuition,” he says.
His influences come from history, culture and traditions and he searches the past in order to carry on into the future. He is known for his rich, colorful and eclectic style. “I am trying, through the material that surrounds me, to create a story that captures culture, memories, and artisanal work. The materials I am using are vintage and handmade. I create my pieces with a total freedom, it comes from the state of mind I have at that moment. The point is to be respectful of the past, of the culture and to bring something warmer. In my pieces, I want to create a memory that moves me emotionally. Vintage fabrics can match past and present together. Colors, patterns and prints are my landscape.”
Napoleon said once “there is a thin line between the ridiculous
and the sublime” and, according to Ifrach, he is searching for this line every time, in every piece. “I am always thinking about what we would like to have that we do not have yet, as a result, I believe that the strongest part we all have is our individuality. That is what I am trying to do with “one-of-a- kind” pieces, as we all are “one-of-a- kind,”” he says.

Jewelry
Fatma Mostafa is an artist and jewelry designer experimenting across a wide range of media.
In 2017, she founded her own jewelry brand. In moving through oil painting, embroidery, and photography, her work takes a multi-disciplinary approach, posing questions of our relationship to materials. She combines mediums and incorporates natural materials in both her paintings and designs. Her artistic background makes her think of her jewelry as pieces of art that she gets to share with others.
She has been part of many group exhibitions, The Girl’s Window in 2022, Roznama 8 in 2021, the "Lost, found, eternal" workshop and exhibition in 2018, and The Youth Salon in both 2017 and 2018.
Fatma Mostafa jewelry was born out of a love for fine art, fashion, and traditional crafts, like embroidery. Mostafa was introduced to embroidery by her mother, and as a young girl it was the first medium she was trained in but she never gave it much thought. Mostafa later pursued fine arts, and through oil painting discovered a fascination with colors and landscapes, and developed a curiosity for experimenting with the potentials of the medium. As she continued experimenting with different mediums, she rediscovered her love of embroidery and her interest in jewelry design, and in mixing both, she founded her brand. Like painting, the beauty of embroidery comes from the time, care and deliberate effort it takes to create a piece, she believes.
Through her work, Mostafa was taught to cherish patience and see the beauty in slowness as a piece unveils itself. She strives to create pieces that are original works of art, where you can clearly see the value and beauty of nature and the endless potential of patient human hands with colorful threads.

Burç Akyol
Quick view>
Guest Country: Turkey
Burç Akyol, 32, was born in Dreux, France to Turkish parents. He was raised in a household headed by strong women: his mother, two sisters and aunt. They had a lasting impact on Akyol, who as a male outsider to this realm of oriental women observed and interpreted gestures, dress codes and ways of speaking so as to gain passage into their world. "I would wear black because they always did and apply kohl on my eyes to say “I want to be with you”,” says the designer.
His father, a tailor, subcontracted for Parisian couture houses and worked from home, where Akyol's bedroom was also the atelier. Akyol watched his father and learnt how to craft garments and sew, educating himself in the rigorous artisanal work of tailoring.
Moving to Paris in 2005 to study fashion at l'Institut Français de la Mode, Akyol worked multiple side jobs and sold his paintings to pay for his studies. Leaving school in 2006, he gained experience at Christian Dior under John Galliano, Balenciaga under Nicolas Ghesquière and at Emanuel Ungaro with Esteban Cortazar. In 2014, he was named head of collections at Cortazar's namesake brand.
In 2019, Akyol decided to launch his own label and debuted a genderless artisanal collection celebrating feminine seduction in both women and men, creating a wardrobe for "sexy tragédien-nes" as the designer explains. His pieces are always very revealing and austere at the same time, whispering hot and cold, just like the women he grew up with.
Burç Akyol’s work is not seasonal; his collections are styled COLL 01 PART 01, 02, etc. This is because he is building a language close to Haute Couture, which takes time. When he designs, he taps into his obsessions for Cariatides, dramatic glamour and his love for black tuxedo-tailoring which Akyol says is "the perfect uniform".
He also references female leadership and his multicultural heritage in a constant dialogue between his urban European upbringing and his Oriental roots: a mixture that he finds is best visible around the Mediterranean’s volcanic coasts, where Akyol spends his summers on the island of Pantelleria.
In harmony with his love for craftsmanship, each piece is either hand-finished or entirely hand-made at his studio in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Akyol values his wearer above all and is in constant search to offer them both maintenance and seduction: he says he is "distant-flirting" with his customers.
His collections have been featured internationally with high profile personalities wearing his pieces starting with Cardi B and Zendaya for the British Vogue and the launch of his collection first collection was covered by Vogue Talents for Vogue Italy. With his latest addition to COLL 01, Akyol staged his first physical show in Paris on March 21st for Fall Winter 2022.

Accessories
Pupchen is an outburst from—and an invitation into—the unusual, decadent, uncompromising universe of young Tunisian designer and architect, Duha Bukadi. Pupchen is her aesthetic revenge on a world of resigned adults, tedious routines, and flat personalities. As an architect, Bukadi always loved navigating the mix of structure, utility, and aesthetics in every building she designed. This is what she likes about building shoes, too: the savoir faire (structure), the comfort (utility), and the fantasy (aesthetics).
Tunis-based Bukadi draws constant inspiration from her surroundings: her daughter’s toys, her vivid dreams, and the unexpected poetry of everyday life. She’s a storyteller, and shoes are her medium. Bukadi wants shoes to be playful, fun, and, at the same time, the height of chic. Pupchen shoes are imagined and designed at the Pupchen offices in Tunisia. Then prototypes are made in Maison Massaro, part of Chanel’s Métiers d’Art, in Paris. Production takes place at Nillab, a well-known footwear manufacturing firm based in the Riviera del Brenta, Italy.
Pupchen is a pet name. The late French singer and poet Georges Brassens gave it to his lover and muse, Joha Heiman. Brassens and Heiman were each other’s obsession for 30 years from the time they met in Paris until Brassens’ death in 1981. Pupchen comes from the German for “little doll.” But a love like Brassens’ and Heiman’s is not diminutive or conventional. Never married, never living together, their passion for each other was expansive in its contradictions. Brassens famously sang in awe of Heiman, “I made myself small (before a doll).” When told that she lived in Brassens’ shadow, Heiman would respond that she lived in his light. Pupchen is a doll who plays with the world. Not the other way around.

A keen eye for beauty is the key ingredient to have inspired the birth of this unique brand.
BOADḰ is a sustainable slow-fashion, wearable-wood brand based in Cairo.
The brand focuses on the experience of belonging to nature and nurturing the channel between women and nature.
Through the creation of spirited wooden handcrafted bags, BOΛDḰ uses wood as a space to embody art objects and patterns, avoiding exaggeration of appearance, focusing instead on material individuality.
As massive wood, epoxy and leather, some wooden purses are uniquely adorned with needlepoint embroidery, giving traditionally nostalgic elements a refreshing modern twist.
As a brand inspired and created by the natural world, it should come as no surprise that BOΛDḰ gives the natural world the respect and love it deserves; by being sustainable and promoting sustainability and slow fashion.
Founder bio:
Having been continuously transfixed by the natural beauty that surrounds her,
Karen had started her creative journey in architecture, only to have specialized her interests even further as time passed.
Architecture eventually turned into interior design, which ultimately turned into
product design - one thing led to another, knots seemed to unravel, and finally
BOΛDḰ rose to the surface.
Having always been drawn to the beautiful versatility of the wooden medium,
ever since her architecture days, Karen roped together her passion for creating
with her knowledge on how to best make use of material elements.
Having been raised in a French speaking environment all her life, it only made
sense to Karen that when it came to naming her brand, it would carry French elements.
Brand name concept:
BOΛDḰ is made up of three parts - the first part ‘BOA’ is a shortened version of
'Bois', the French word for ‘wood’, the second part ‘D’ is the French word 'de'
which means ‘of’, and the ‘Ḱ’ stands for Karen... altogether it simply means
'Wood of Karen'.

Raised in the Parisian suburbs, Dalila Barkache is a jewelry maker and designer of Moroccan origin with inspirations and experiences that stem from the four corners of the world. Her name resonates loud and clear in the underground, unconventional and progressive world of design.
She quickly launched her career after graduating with a degree in Jewelry Design from the renowned École de la Rue du Louvre in 2002 by collaborating with distinguished jewelry houses. She left Paris for Beirut’s electric creative environment and cultivated her love for fashion by styling for top magazines, while influencing the city’s fashion milieu by inaugurating its very first Comme des Garçons guerilla store in 2006.
2011 was a momentous year for Barkache as she gathered up her energy to launch the very first collection of her eponymous jewelry brand. Meticulously handcrafted in a small atelier in Beirut, her designs defy the traditional norms of jewelry making to take on wild, edgy and unconventionally playful shapes.
Through her arrangements, she emphasizes the omnipresence of movement and geometry by merging mobile and fixed structures, creating an atypically elegant swing effect. Her subtle combinations of 18-carat gold and cooler matte 925 silver set with diamonds and precious stones offer a complex, contemporary take on classical fine jewelry. Her origins have a direct influence on her work. She mirrors traditional ceremonial Berber ornaments and embellishes the details with modern romantic rock and roll accents. Her creations are an extension of her being. Mixing ethnicity with simplicity, her designs are exclusively retailed at the concept store Dover Street Market in London, New York and Ginza, as well as in the prestigious online boutique Sancy & Regent. She is today on the verge of launching a new, long-awaited collection.

Youssra Nichane
Quick view>
Jewelry
Jewelry has always enjoyed a prominent place in Moroccan society. A social indicator, as family heritage and even as an investment, the heavier and more sophisticated the adornment, the greater the prestige, the perfect example is the famous gold mdamma (traditional belt) that young brides received as a dowry. However, for decades, many have tended to abandon traditional jewelry, as it is difficult and heavy to wear on a daily basis.
The jewelry brand Dihyan, designed by Youssra Nichane and co-founded with Nicole Abate, was born as a beautiful tribute to Moroccan craftsmanship and has the goal of reconnecting woman to their roots by transforming jewels dating from the 17th to the 19th century into everyday pieces adapted to the present, as a” revival” of the wearing of Moroccan jewels with a “modern twist “. The pieces work by “lightening” the designs of traditional jewels, creating jewels that Dihyan intends to inspire woman to wear to accessorize their outfits.
The unique pieces are made by hand from individual parts by local artisans in the country’s cultural capital Fès. The designs are labor-intensive and the true heroes and heroines behind the creations are the house’s enamellers and goldsmiths. Nichane and Abate stand by them strongly through their brand in order to keep this form of art moving forward in North Africa, and to conserve the talent and hard work of the hands that make the brand a possibility.
The brand’s DNA is chic without being ostentatious, precious yet affordable and traditional without being weighty. An array of semiprecious stones carefully picked for each creation and intertwined by silk threads are set on 24 ct gold plated silver. Jewelry is one of the most personal and intimate forms of art. It is capable of expressing deep emotions, while remaining at the heart of fashion.
Founders
Passionate about jewelry and with a deep-rooted love for her culture since childhood, creative director Youssra Nichane has a call for the art of creating jewelry. Her biggest spur for going forward with her dream was the attention she grabbed from fashionistas and designers while wearing traditional pieces from her private collection during Paris Fashion Week, a realization that pushed her to develop the idea further and imagine her own collection. With one goal in mind, breathing new life into Moroccan jewelry to create real fashion pieces, she was determined to move forward.
She discussed the idea with her friend Nicole Abate, an expert in arts and culture and a great lover of antique jewelry, living between Miami, New York and London. Together, they took Dihyan's first steps by joining forces as they knew the brand would quickly have the opportunity to travel the world and make an impact in the global jewelry market through its one of a kind designs and traditional roots.
Social Impact
Full of history, inherited from generation to generation, the craftsmanship of Moroccan goldsmiths remains the soul of Dihyan. Local artisans have been highly impacted by the current pandemic, and Diyhan works with talented creatives from Fès, - one of the oldest cities in the African country- while also donating a percentage of its profits to a collective of local women founded by Dihyan, in order to teach them the goldsmith’s trade, a sector mainly dominated by men; it’s goal being to create jewelry made by women for women.
Dihyan’s Drawings - From Imagination to Reality
It was during the pandemic while the world took a pause when the first images of Dihyan came to life. Nichane found great pleasure in drawing and made it a fountain of creation for what she had previously imagined as the first designs of the brand. During the creation process, each pearl, stone and element were meticulously selected and conceptualized in sketches to be later reinterpreted by the Moroccan silversmiths that brought Dihyan into existence.

Burç Akyol
Quick view>
Guest Country: Turkey
Burç Akyol, 32, was born in Dreux, France to Turkish parents. He was raised in a household headed by strong women: his mother, two sisters and aunt. They had a lasting impact on Akyol, who as a male outsider to this realm of oriental women observed and interpreted gestures, dress codes and ways of speaking so as to gain passage into their world. "I would wear black because they always did and apply kohl on my eyes to say “I want to be with you”,” says the designer.
His father, a tailor, subcontracted for Parisian couture houses and worked from home, where Akyol's bedroom was also the atelier. Akyol watched his father and learnt how to craft garments and sew, educating himself in the rigorous artisanal work of tailoring.
Moving to Paris in 2005 to study fashion at l'Institut Français de la Mode, Akyol worked multiple side jobs and sold his paintings to pay for his studies. Leaving school in 2006, he gained experience at Christian Dior under John Galliano, Balenciaga under Nicolas Ghesquière and at Emanuel Ungaro with Esteban Cortazar. In 2014, he was named head of collections at Cortazar's namesake brand.
In 2019, Akyol decided to launch his own label and debuted a genderless artisanal collection celebrating feminine seduction in both women and men, creating a wardrobe for "sexy tragédien-nes" as the designer explains. His pieces are always very revealing and austere at the same time, whispering hot and cold, just like the women he grew up with.
Burç Akyol’s work is not seasonal; his collections are styled COLL 01 PART 01, 02, etc. This is because he is building a language close to Haute Couture, which takes time. When he designs, he taps into his obsessions for Cariatides, dramatic glamour and his love for black tuxedo-tailoring which Akyol says is "the perfect uniform".
He also references female leadership and his multicultural heritage in a constant dialogue between his urban European upbringing and his Oriental roots: a mixture that he finds is best visible around the Mediterranean’s volcanic coasts, where Akyol spends his summers on the island of Pantelleria.
In harmony with his love for craftsmanship, each piece is either hand-finished or entirely hand-made at his studio in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Akyol values his wearer above all and is in constant search to offer them both maintenance and seduction: he says he is "distant-flirting" with his customers.
His collections have been featured internationally with high profile personalities wearing his pieces starting with Cardi B and Zendaya for the British Vogue and the launch of his collection first collection was covered by Vogue Talents for Vogue Italy. With his latest addition to COLL 01, Akyol staged his first physical show in Paris on March 21st for Fall Winter 2022.

Amina Muaddi
Quick view>
Jordanian-Romanian creative director and designer Amina Muaddi has shifted the landscape of the footwear industry in just 4 short years with the launch of her eponymous accessory brand in 2018. Helmed by her peers and consumers as a creative force that knows what women want, Muaddi designs for the modern day women of the world. Her line, designed in Paris and made in Italy, combines centuries of shoe-making expertise and craftsmanship along with a global fashion perspective. It is this traditional training along with Muaddi’s worldly and cutting-edge taste that has laid the foundation for her personal expression through her brand. However it’s her signature pyramid and sculptural heels, her innovative approach to marketing and disruptive approach to sales that has catapulted the brand into cult status. For you can always spot an Amina Muaddi shoe.
Born in Romania to a Jordanian father and Romanian mother, Amina spent her early childhood in Jordan then relocated to Romania at age 6. She developed an eye for details by observing her mother’s sense of style. She recalls that by the age of 9, she was determined to work in the fashion industry. This led Muaddi at the age of 16 to move to Italy with her aunt where she went to high school and then studied at the European Institute of Design in Milan, later working as a stylist for magazines such as L’Uomo Vogue and GQ US in New York. However it was Muaddi’s time spent in Riviera del Brenta in 2012, the historical shoe making district, that fueled her passion for the trade, allowing her to work with world-class artisans and suppliers eventually leading her to develop each and every one of her shoes’ 40-50 components.
Muaddi co-founded her first shoe brand, Oscar Tiye, in Milan of 2012 with the co-founders later parting ways in 2017. However as stated by Muaddi “it’s not about what you go through, it’s how you survive (the situation) and thrive after it.” It was during this time that Muaddi moved to Paris to lay down her roots in one of the biggest fashion capitals of the world to start from scratch and build anew. Her striking silhouettes garnered the admiration of women all over the world and led to her collaboration with French couturier Alexandre Vauthier on the launch of his eponymous shoe line which Muaddi would go on to design for 5 years showing each Paris Couture Week.
By 2018 Muaddi had found the freedom and creative spark to create an original silhouette in her heels (now instantly recognizable) and the time had come to launch her own line. She presented and sold her first collection to ten retailers, including Bergdorf Goodman, Net-a-porter and Harrods. The collection would later turn out to be an impressive success, selling out within one day from the launch.
In 2019 Muaddi was commissioned by Rihanna to design footwear for her Fenty brand under LVMH which launched in July of 2020. Footwear News would later go on to reward their creative effort with the Collaborator of the Year Award.
From the brand’s loyal consumer following (even amidst a pandemic), to it’s influence on pop culture with collaborations across from Wolford to AWGE to film and tv fashion with stand out moments in HBO’s Euphoria and Insecure, Muaddi and her brand have no signs of slowing down with expansions into handbags in 2020 and custom jewelry in 2021. Her shoes and accessories can be seen on many of the world’s most elusive celebrities and her impact on the industry as a whole is unquestionable.
Today Muaddi is focused on building a strong infrastructure for her company, scaling her business with intentional and thoughtful choices and continuing to design products that empower and embolden women in their daily lives. But on her own terms (as a single shareholder for now).

Coperni is a Parisian ready-to-wear and accessories brand designed by Sébastien Meyer & Arnaud Vaillant, established in 2013. An explorative and pragmatic design approach informs their creations, for rigorous and Modernist garments born of intensive textile experimentation.
Thename Coperni invokes the life work of Prussian astronomer NicolausCopernicus, whose mathematical and astronomical research into Heli-ocentrism inspires the designers’ visual world, where his sense of rebel-lion is married with the pared-back romance of the mid-century French‘nouvelle vague’.
Translating the evolving technology and precision of new textiles into nonchalant shapes, Coperni o!ers a youthful attitude executed with ar-tisanal fervour and Parisian "air. Experience in the studios of Balenciaga and Chanel infuses a thorough knowledge of embroidery techniques through their work, streamlined with a linear sensibility that marries ex-haustive origami-like technique with a neat, ‘sportif’ silhouette.
Sincemeeting in 2009, a perpetual artistic dialogue between Meyer and Vail-lant has evolved into a profound design language, which today drives the Coperni universe through a diverse landscape of creative stimuli from Brutalist architecture to the decorative arts.

With the appointment of Gherardo Felloni as Creative Director of the collections of the Maison, Roger Vivier continues its tradition of visionary design and exceptional style.
Born in Tuscany, Gherardo Felloni has already spent a lifetime living and working with shoes and accessories.
Since starting in his new role in March 2018, he has brought this vast and unique experience to the Parisian luxury accessories Maison.
While he originally planned to be an architect, his father encouraged him to apply his ability to draw the natural world around him to shoes, “I see the coincidence in a link between architecture and shoe design. Each involves a structure that must be able to hold you inside of it.”
After spending time at his family’s shoe atelier, he continued honing his skills working for some of the leading fashion Houses. Over the past 10 years, he has led footwear, leather goods and accessory design at luxury brands in Paris. “For me Roger Vivier has always been a source of reference in my work. He was the master of shoes. It’s an honor to work for the Maison.”
His love affair with design is influenced by his own personal passion for the arts whether exploring interior design, collecting antique jewelry or singing opera as a tenor.

Lorraine Schwartz is an iconic jewelry designer best known for creating one of the most identifiable fine jewelry brands today. Her jewelry designs are equally beloved, powerful, and unique.
Growing up as the granddaughter of a prominent diamond dealer, who Lorraine looked up to, Schwartz had a window into the world of gemstones and fine jewelry from a young age. Captivated by the jewelry business, Schwartz was determined to forge her own path which led to success early on into her career. With diamonds in her DNA, and a talent for curating and collecting the most beautiful stones from around the world, Schwartz became known as a go-to diamond dealer and revered deal maker. Inspired by architecture, movement, and nature, Schwartz soon found herself designing jewelry that she herself wanted to wear, combining unique materials and precious gems to create exceptional masterpieces. Soon her one-of-a-kind designs caught the attention of A-list celebrities, royal families, heads of state, and global style icons. Lorraine Schwartz Fine Jewelry officially launched in 2001.
Schwartz has created some of most memorable red-carpet transcendent fashion moments of our time, and is known for designing some of the most highly publicized celebrity engagement rings of the last decade. Her designs have been widely coveted by iconic style makers and global influencers including Beyoncé, Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian, Pharrell Williams, Adele, Jennifer Lopez, and Angelina Jolie.
Her muse, Beyoncé, has been a canvas for many of Schwartz’s creations: from armfuls of stacked bangles to large statement-making earrings and the titanium glove that Beyoncé used to “put a ring on it” in her much-vaunted Single Ladies music video. Together, they have started many of the notable jewelry trends that swept the nation.
‘Lorraine Schwartz’ jewelry sets trends on the red carpet and in magazines across the globe. Angelina Jolie adorned the legendary oversized Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings at the 2009 Oscars, which translated to an international emerald trend that remains today.
Schwartz’s influence extends beyond trends and style. She is working to transform the jewelry industry by empowering the next generation of diverse designers. She is creating access and opportunities for BIPOC designers through the Beyoncé Knowles-Carter X Lorraine Schwartz GIA Scholarship and the Emerging Designers Diamond Initiative, a partnership with the Natural Diamond Council.
Schwartz’s drive and dedication to her work has awarded her the Innovator of the Year award for the Accessories Council and The Women of Distinction in Business Award. She has been honored with the Spirit of Achievement award by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and she is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
Schwartz has also been a long-time supporter and partner of the Angel Ball for Cancer Research, where she created the Shulamit Benjamini Sandberg Medical Research Grant in honor of her late mother and inspiration, whose keen eye and impeccable sense of style Lorraine credits her own success to.
As her late, dear friend, Elizabeth Taylor has said of Schwartz, “She’s a lovely, loveable being, and it’s reflected in her shimmering, dancing gems.”

Olivier Rousteing
Quick view>
About Olivier Rousteing
For over a decade, Olivier Rousteing has been the Creative Director of the house of Balmain. During those ten years, Rousteing has been carefully building upon the legacy of the house’s founder, Pierre Balmain, who famously introduced a fresh, feminine and surprising “New French Style” to post-war couture.
Beginning with inspirations directly pulled from the house’s rich archives and fully utilizing the Balmain atelier’s impressive mastery of intricate traditional couture techniques, Rousteing has been able to skillfully graft his own distinctive style upon the historic house. He is, in fact, creating a modern and inclusive new New French Style—one which melds together an immediately recognizable singular silhouette, a contemporary outlook reflecting Rousteing’s own extraordinary personal journey and a spirit pulled directly from the avenues and boulevards of a transformed-yet-eternal Paris, the dynamic and diverse fashion capital that has influenced every Balmain collection for over 75 years.
Early Years, Education and Italy Born in 1985, Rousteing was adopted from a French orphanage at a young age and raised in Bordeaux. He studied fashion at Paris’ Ecole Supérieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode (ESMOD).At 18, he moved to Italy, where he worked at Roberto Cavalli for five years, beginning as an intern and rising swiftly and steadily through the ranks to the position of Designer for the men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collections. When the opportunity arose for him to return to Paris to work at Balmain, Rousteing seized it, forming a part of the house’s design team for two years before being named Creative Director in 2011.
Far From Typical When Olivier Rousteing, then 25, was selected to head Balmain’s design team in 2011, he became one of the youngest talents ever named to lead an historic Parisian fashion house. Rousteing is very conscious of his unique background and position—as well as the exciting opportunities for change that this moment presents. “I'm definitely not the typical Creative Director of a major Parisian house,” he explains. “And, as an outsider who somehow made it into a position of power, I am determined to use this occasion to shake things up a little and push for needed changes. There’s a rapidly changing world that’s just outside our design studios—and I am constantly inspired by the new powerful state of mind and beautiful diversity of today's streets. That’s why I will always push for honesty, direct communication, true inclusion and democratization within fashion.
I’m determined that my collections will always reflect how today’s generation wishes to live and dress. I also can’t stop weaving in influences from all types of music into my designs—because that’s how we grew up. For us, music and fashion are seamlessly joined together, and It’s impossible to separate one of those arts from the other.”
About Balmain
More than 75 years ago, when Pierre Balmain first introduced his “New French Style,” it immediately became clear to all that his eponymous house was offering a distinctly fresh, bold and feminine conception of haute couture, one which broke with many of the well-established conventions of the era.
His audaciousness paid off. Pierre Balmain became one of the handful of young French talents who ushered in the mid-century’s golden age of couture and helped to re-establish Paris as the world’s fashion capital. For more than ten years, Balmain’s Creative Director, Olivier Rousteing, has been inventively building upon Pierre Balmain’s extraordinary legacy, while always remaining true to his own determination to design clothes that reflect the way his inclusive, powerful and global Balmain Army wishes to live today. The result is a unique and instantly recognizable Balmain silhouette, style and attitude that highlights the singular craftsmanship of the house’s celebrated ateliers, while consistently referencing a rich Parisian heritage.

Navigating themes located in anthropology, sociographic tendencies, and 20th–21st Century industrialised societies, Ross’ output offers a commentary on equality, engagement and collective experience; known for his thought-provoking art and industrial design, Ross’ sculptural works have been acquired as permanent collections by some of the world’s leading museums - the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (2022), Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2022) and the Dallas Museum of Art (2021).
In 2015, at just 25-years-old, Ross self-funded his label, A-COLD-WALL*– renowned for its material investigation and innovation, married with incisive explorations of Brutalist and abstract forms and precise execution. Through this holistically pioneering approach, Ross’ A-COLD-WALL* is credited as redefining the parameters of streetwear and high fashion.
During the Hublot Prize exhibition at London’s Serpentine Gallery in 2019, Ross launched his latest venture – SR_A (Samuel Ross & Associates). SR_A is an industrial design studio operating within the fields of interior installation, architecture, furniture design, sound design and sculptural/visual communication, described by Ross as a vehicle for “…the progressive study of design and practical experience creation.”
Ross’ accolades include being named the British Fashion Awards’ Emerging Menswear Designer (2018) and receiving the Hublot Design Prize (2019). In 2020, he was named as one of Forbes’ 30 under 30 [Europe] and won both the GQ USA Fashion Award (2020) and People of the Year British Fashion Award (2020), the latter specifically for his philanthropic endeavours. Most recently he was awarded the Established Changemaker Soho House Award (2022), Leader of Change British Fashion Award (2021) and an Honorary PHD appointed by the University of Westminster for ‘Doctor of Arts’ (2021). He has also been a finalist for both the LVMH Prize and ANDAM Award.

Zuhair Murad

Zuhair Murad grew up in Baalbek, Lebanon. Since his childhood, he always dreamed of escaping to a world of fantasy. He started sketching dresses at the age of 10 and has often said he couldn't recall a day in his life without a pen in hand. In 1997, Zuhair Murad opened his first atelier in Beirut, catering to a growing private clientele, and presented his couture collection for the first time during Haute Couture Week in Paris in 2001, gaining momentum with international media. To meet growing and expanding demand, he then launched his first ready-to-wear evening collection (Rendez-Vous), a simpler yet still aesthetic, glamorous and contemporary line. In 2006, Zuhair Murad opened his first boutique in the heritage Melrose Building located in Downtown Beirut, and in 2007 he inaugurated his Parisian Maison de Couture in the heart of the Triangle d’Or at 1-1bis Francois 1er street, the design studio and workshop where he created his ready-to-wear collections, and couture and bridal dresses. His first ready-to-wear bridal collection launched in 2011, and in 2012, the supervisory board of the French Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode elected him as guest member to the Haute Couture official calendar.
In the past decade, Zuhair Murad has expanded to several notable locations, with design studios and a bridal boutique in Beirut, showrooms in Paris, a store-within-a-store in London, Kuwait and Istanbul, a company in Switzerland and at boutique in UAE. His extensive lines encompass haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories.

Pierpaolo Piccioli
Quick view>
I have always loved cinema andduring my adolescence I dreamed of becoming a movie director. When I discovered fashion and its narrative power, I decided to become a designer. Itwas for me a natural evolution of a dream’.
After Highschool, Pierpaolo Piccioli enrolls in the Istituto Europeo di Design, in Rome. Commitment sets in during the first years of work in the atelier. After his first experiences, in 1990 he arrives at Fendi to work on the brand’s accessory line. In this period he approaches the heart of the profession: the contact with high Italian craftsmanship and the possibility of experimenting with a new approach.
‘Working closely with the artisans and with the Italian expertise has been fundamental. It has allowed me to understand and perceive the rules in order to break them and rewrite them. Savoir-faire is the base of the designer profession. It is the base from which each creative process begins’.
After Fendi, he arrives at Valentino to develop the emerging accessory line. It is the beginning of a challenge: to lead the great tradition of the Valentino Couture from dresses to objects, maintaining intact the tradition, the cure and the creativity of its founder. The experiment works on all fronts. In 2008,Pierpaolo Piccioli is nominated Valentino Co-Creative Director
‘From the first days, the most important task on Valentino’s heritage has been to accomplish the perception, the idea and the essence of the Maison rather than reproposing pieces of its archive. It has been a creative process that took as a model the moduso perandi of the Atelier of Couture. In other words, the human excellence portrayed in every single detail. From the fashion shows, to the collaborations, to the stores’.
In just a few years, Valentino has become a brand of reference for the fashion system and an international success case. In 2016, Pierpaolo Piccioli is nominated sole Creative Director of the Maison. It is the start of a new era, a further evolution for the Italian brand.
‘I am interested in the idea of humanism that nourishes creativity. The human connection that forms this Maison is forme the best team possible. Here I have discovered that no innovation can exist without a profound knowledge of tradition. At the same time, I know that the sense of limit that springs from this awareness gives you the freedom of thinking of how to trespass it. This, in synthesis, will be the new Valentino direction. A human narration, personal yet unanimous, of a story that is yet to be written.

In 2014 Lamy created Lamyland, an umbrella term for her independent creative endeavors, bringing together all the key elements integral to her practice – experimentation, collaboration, storytelling and creation.

In 2017, Lamy formed the conceptual band Lavascar with the artist Nico Vascellari and her daughter Scarlett Rouge.

OLIVIER THEYSKENS
Quick view>
Olivier Theyskens was born in 1977 of a Belgian father and a French mother. As a child, gifted for drawing and having a sense for detail, his interest for couture appeared: aged 7 he declared that he wanted to “become a couturier”.
In October 1994 at the age of 17 he entered the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre to study fashion design in Brussels. He left the school in 1997 to start his own brand.
The same year Theyskens presented his first collection of feminine, high fashion ready-to-wear in Belgium. He then decided to show his following collection in Paris during fashion week and rapidly found international coverage. VogueRunway characterized his work at this time as consisting of “strong, dark collections that electrified fashion in the late nineties.”
In 2002 Theyskens moved to Paris when he was appointed Artistic Director of Rochas, a position he held for four years. For his work at Rochas he was awarded the Star Award from Fashion Group International in 2005 and the title of Best International Designer by the CFDA in 2006.
That same year Theyskens took over the position of Artistic Director at Nina Ricci where he infused the house with what WWD described as “his strong suit – stunning evening dresses that are soft and fluid.”
Theyskens’ unique aesthetic was captured in a book project, ‘The Other Side of the Picture’ (Assouline). Published in 2009, the book is an anthology of images that offer an intimate insight into Theyskens’ work throughout the years.
In 2010, after moving to New York, Theyskens and Theory joined their complementary strengths and visionary approaches to contemporary fashion to create Theyskens’ Theory. In November of that year, Theyskens was appointed Artistic Director of the global Theory brand where he stayed until 2014.
Having always the ambition to pursue the development of his own House, Theyskens decides to return to Paris to re-launch his eponymous label in 2016.
Olivier Theyskens is one of the youngest designers to be celebrated by two retrospectives.
In October 2017, the prestigious MOMU Fashion Museum in Antwerp unveiled a six-month exhibition of Olivier Theyskens’ work covering 20 years of career, with the publication of a monograph entitled ‘She Walks in Beauty’ (Rizzoli).
In June 2019, the Cité de la Dentelle et de la Mode in Calais , opened ‘In Praesentia’, an exhibition focused on Olivier Theyskens’ singular approach to fashion accompanied with the release of a comprehensive catalogue (Lienart).
In February 2020, Theyskens was named Artistic Director of Azzaro, overseeing all the lines of the house, a position he holds in parallel to developing his namesake brand.
Throughout his career Olivier Theyskens also worked in the art field, creating costumes for the Chicago based rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, for the Théatre de la Monnaie in Brussels and for the New York City Ballet, as well as creating dresses for major celebrities and prominent socialites.
