THE BRAND
Our studio commits to many circular strategies to ensure our products are always developed with sustainability and innovation in mind. Forward-thinking making techniques coupled with bio-fabrication, traditional craftsmanship and rapid prototyping makes our studio a pioneer in the field of sustainable Couture. Crafted locally, with sustainable materials or waste material, we push for a change through our environmentally-conscious designs.
We have collaborated with major brands like Samsung, Netflix, and other innovative platforms to remodel how fashion can seen and perceived. At the moment our brand is focusing on producing its own leather alternative through a start-up initiative.
THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Paris born, UK-based designer Aurélie Fontan launched her eponymous label in 2018, firmly establishing herself as a circular Couture designer, with a focus on biodesign and the circular economy. Aurélie’s work represents the “techno-craft” concept, where feminine, inspirational and eco-friendly luxury womenswear is produced from the latest technology and unconventional techniques.
Aurélie's past collections have been awarded numerous prizes and an international recognition for her avant-garde and forward-thinking production methods as well as environmental activism. She is also the co-founder of a biodegradable plant-based leather alternative initiative - Mykkö.
