Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Launching a fashion brand without a textile background? Managing a collection but lacking internal resources? Seeking to affirm your personal style in alignment with your true self?

As a stylist with over 30 years of experience (Bérénice Paris, Sonia Rykiel, Montagut), I offer my expertise to three types of clients:

B2B

**Young Fashion Entrepreneurs**: I help you define your product offering, create technical sheets, identify the right workshops and suppliers, prepare you for trade shows like Première Vision, and equip you with industry knowledge to be credible with your stakeholders.

**Brands & Creative Teams**: Do you have an established brand but knitwear remains a complex area to master? This is precisely my core expertise. I help you develop distinctive products (jersey, flat knitting, or circular knitting), create precise technical sheets, find the right suppliers according to your production capabilities, and bring true identity coherence to your knitwear collection.

B2C

From Collection Creation to Personal Transformation

**Women in Professional Transition**: Certified image consultant, style assessment, support for a style aligned with your personality and ambitions.

What sets me apart:I am both creative and highly operational. I have a360° approach**, from **brand identityresearch and trends to production.

I have managed my own brand and worked in France and internationally.

I approach fashion with an **inclusive vision**, because style is for all women, all body types, all ages.

Short-term missions accepted remotely or in person. Available quickly.
