Description

My name is Quentin and I am a textile designer and founder of the brand Parmi D’autres, specializing in the creation of unique pieces and small-batch clothing, with an approach focused on upcycling and artisanal manufacturing.

I support brands, designers, and projects in the creation of textile pieces, from prototype to manufacturing, with particular attention to materials, volumes, and the story behind each creation.

My work is based on mastery of industrial machines (lockstitch, overlock) and a practical approach to clothing: cutting, assembly, finishing, and product development.

I mainly work with existing textiles (deadstock, vintage fabrics, curtains, upcycled materials) to create unique, durable, and meaningful pieces.

🔧 Skills:

• Clothing design and development

• Textile upcycling / revaluation

• Simple pattern making and product development

• Manufacturing on industrial machines

• Prototyping and small batches

• Creative consulting and textile art direction

🎯 What I can bring:

• Bring an idea or collection to life

• Create unique pieces with a strong identity

• Support a project from A to Z (idea → prototype → production)

• Bring an artisanal and responsible vision to a brand

At Self Tissus, I assisted a diverse clientele in choosing fabrics and haberdashery, providing tailored advice for each sewing project.
