A NOTE FROM A DELIGHTED CLIENT, MARIE-ANDRÉE

AT AN EARLY AGE, I SHE WAS ATTRACTED TO THE CREATIVE AND IMAGINATIVE WORLD, VIA THE CLASSICAL VENUES OF DANCE AND DRAWING. IT WAS A MATTER OF COURSE THAT SHE WOULD LATER TURN HER FOCUS TO THE WORLD OF FASHION.
UPON COMPLETING A PROGRAM IN DESIGN AND FASHION DESIGN IN A PARISIAN SCHOOL, SHE STARTED HER CAREER AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER IN WOMAN’S FASHION AND TEXTILE DESIGN.
FIVE YEARS LATER, A TURN OF FATE, SHE WAS SEDUCED BY THE WORLD OF HATS, WHILE PARTICIPATING IN A COURSE IN HAT DESIGN AND CONFECTION. SHE NOT ONLY LEARNED THE TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES OF THE MILLNERY TRADE BUT ALSO GAINED A VERY ENRICHING EXPERIENCE IN TERMS OF MATERIALS AND VOLUMES. SHE WAS NO LONGER DESIGNING ON PAPER, BUT RATHER CREATING IMMEDIATELY IN THE THIRD DIMENSION AND DISCOVERINGTHE PLEASURE OF RAPIDLY TRANSFORMING HER INITIAL CONCEPT INTO A REALITY.
IN 1994, SHE FOUNDED HER OWN ATELIER AND BEGAN A FIVE YEAR COLLABORATION WITH THE CHRISTIAN LACROIX FASHION HOUSE. THIS PROVED TO BE AN IMPORTANT AND RICH LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IT ALLOWED HER TO DEVELOP^AND CONFIRM HER OWN ARTISTIC APPROACH WHILE REMAINING SENSITIVE TO THE DESIRES OF A CLIENT.
SINCE THEN, SHE HAS GONE ON TO CREATE HER OWN COLLECTIONS OF HATS AND HEADPIECES, BOTH AS EXCLUSIVE ITEMS AND LIMITED SERIES, DESTINED MAINLY FOR OVERSEAS BOUTIQUES.
TODAY HER WORK IS FOCUSING ON THE EXCLUSIVE, AS SHE CREATES EXCEPTIONAL, PERSONALISED HEADPIECES IN TUNE WITH THE PERSONALITY OR DESIRES OF HER CLIENTS.
IT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BODY AND SELF IMAGE, AS THEY SAY “THE MIRROR OF THE SOUL”, THAT STIMULATES HER CREATIVITY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
THE BASE FOR HER CONCEPTION DRAWS ON A VISION OF BALANCE AND THE REFINED PLAY OF LINES, MATERIALS AND LIGHT. IT IS BY DESIGN THAT SHE ENDEA VOURS TO EVOKE AN EMOTIONAL AND INTIMATE REALM BETWEEN EACH PIECE AND THE WOMAN THAT WEARS IT AND THUS THE SPELL OF THIS EPHEMERAL ART
