Established 2018, the design studio AURELIE FONTAN started by implementing holistic circular strategies to bring sustainability and innovation to the Couture sector. 

 

Convinced that bio-fabrication and circular design strategies is what the future holds for the fashion industry, our studio is dedicated to pioneering hybrid new technologies and a new craftsmanship to push for a change through our environmentally-conscious designs. 

​

Through fashion commissions, collaboration and multi-media projects, our portfolio includes major brands and institutions such as Samsung, Netflix, Errol Douglas, Michael Kors, Fashion Scout, and more.

      Paris born, UK-based designer Aurélie Fontan launched her eponymous label in 2018 as a circular Couture design studio, 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. 

​

With training in Paris, Edinburgh and London at the Royal College of Art, Aurelie's work oscillates between speculation and real-life design solutions for a more symbiotic lifestyle.

 

In 2019, she co-founded the biodegradable plant-based leather alternative start-up Mykkö.
