Styling & Art Direction for a Parisian Atelier
FASHION AND COSMETICS
July 2025 - Today (11 months)
Paris, France
Commissioned by the Parisian atelier Bas et Hauts, known for its expertise with major fashion houses and the performing arts world. The mission involves working on various types of projects to meet the atelier's clients' needs.

In close collaboration with the atelier's teams and clients, the creative work focuses on designing patterns for stage costumes, from initial graphic proposals to final execution.
Each intervention aims to conceptualize pieces and patterns that align with the show's universe, the client's artistic intentions, and the technical constraints of the garment.

The patterns are developed and then precisely placed on the patterns created by the atelier, in close collaboration with the cutting and assembly teams, to ensure perfect coherence between design, volume, and movement.
