Back to original languageAbout Guillaume
Knitwear & jersey designer specializing in the luxury world, I have been supporting brands for over 8 years in the creation and development of their collections, from the initial idea to product refinement.
My expertise is based on a complete mastery of knitwear, both creative and technical: I design models (drawings, graphics, artworks), develop structures, create technical sheets, prepare simulations, and oversee fittings in coordination with your teams and manufacturers.
I practice both hand knitting and machine knitting, which allows me to intervene precisely on projects ranging from artisanal prototypes to production, guaranteeing the rigor, feasibility, and execution quality specific to the luxury sector.
I offer two approaches depending on your needs:
• Development of knitwear collections, with both a seasonal and sustainable vision, integrating statement pieces and timeless designs.
• Construction of projects around know-how, from sampling to the creation of hand-made prototypes or technical files for production.
In jersey design, I develop lines balancing timeless essentials and more trendy proposals, with custom-built graphic work adapted to manufacturing constraints.
Available for one-off collaborations or more comprehensive support, I work with rigor, attention to detail, and a concrete understanding of product challenges.
