Parisian Couture

A Personal Ode to Hand Embroidery and Fashion Mastery

For some, Paris is synonymous with romance, while for others, it’s all about indulging in fancy restaurants and sipping coffee in charming cafes, or perhaps immersing oneself in the city’s vibrant cultural scene, including museums, architecture, and poetry. However, for me, Paris is defined by the pinnacle of couture, with a particular emphasis on exquisite hand embroidery.

As one of the fashion capitals of the world, Paris has not only hosted unforgettable shows but has also given rise to iconic brands that serve as a wellspring of inspiration for us as artisans. These brands, such as Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, and Hermes, go beyond being mere shopping destinations; they are pure sources of inspiration that allow us to observe and marvel at truly unique creations.

To me, these fashion houses represent more than just logos; they are reservoirs of inspiration and admiration for the vision and craftsmanship of their creators. In my perspective, an atelier with a rich heritage doesn’t require a logo for recognition. Each of these esteemed brands has provided us with distinct visual symbols — be it a flower or a signature embroidery technique — that embody their identity just as effectively as a logo does. In my work, I have meticulously gathered and given a personal craft interpretation to these symbols, creating a synthesis of inspiration and innovation.
