About Manon

I am a graduate stylist-pattern maker from ESMOD Paris in New Couture, with a Graduate Diploma in Fashion Design from Central Saint Martins and a Master's in Fashion Design & Technology Menswear from the London College of Fashion.

I support brands, designers, and fashion houses in the development of their collections, from creative research to the final product. My expertise covers styling, concept development, technical drawing, pattern making, prototype refinement, and manufacturing supervision.

Specializing in tailoring and bespoke, I pay particular attention to cut, garment construction, and finishing. My approach combines technical rigor, attention to detail, and creativity to design pieces that are both innovative and perfectly executed.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with luxury and Couture houses, as well as on film costume productions. These experiences have allowed me to develop great versatility, an excellent understanding of workshop requirements, and the ability to adapt to diverse aesthetic universes.

Curious, organized, and a good listener, I enjoy collaborating with creative teams to transform a vision into a finished product, whether it's a custom piece, a collection, or a costume project. Available for freelance assignments, remotely or on-site, I can intervene at every stage of product development.
