In it, there was a photo of ‘La Môme Bijou’, a woman who lived in the 1930s. She was an old sex worker, who wore lots of pearls. <strong>Her name was Bijou</strong>. She was a character really, from Montmartre. As my studio overlooks the district, it just made sense. I found that it sounded very <em>- very — </em>Parisian. I liked the name, and it had the word ‘môme’ in it (which means ‘kid’ in French). Since I never really grew up, it suited me completely. In the universe, there is childhood, color, and joy. There are lots of little details that connect.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="742" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-3-742x1024-1.webp" alt class="wp-image-5082" style="width:449px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-3-742x1024-1.webp 742w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-3-742x1024-1-217x300.webp 217w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-3-742x1024-1-9x12.webp 9w" sizes="(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">La Môme Bijou by photographer Brassaï</figcaption></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-683x1024.jpg" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5087" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-8x12.jpg 8w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09637-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the showroom of La môme bijou</figcaption></figure></div></div> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s your favourite <strong>jewelry piece</strong> you’ve created?</h2> <p>Isabelle Prat: That would be my first collection: In My Bubble. I thought it was fun to have made a collection with two totally different parts, both incorporating bubbles — either comic bubbles or soap bubbles. I find it quite amusing.</p> <p>The first part uses onomatopoeic comic bubbles as jewelry. I find it quite playful with its messages. What is pleasant and funny is that the onomatopoeias are placed in meaningful places. For example, the bubble worn around your neck says: ‘Blah Blah Blah.’ It’s very Lichtenstein — a jewelry version. And the comic bubbles are indeed completely inspired by pop artist Lichtenstein.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-1024x683.jpg" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5097" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09670-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the showroom of La môme bijou</figcaption></figure></div> <p>The second part is soap bubble jewelry. I loved playing with soap bubbles when I was little, blowing soap bubbles with dishwasher liquid and a small tube. The beads I used have this ‘soap bubble’ effect.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How did you learn to express yourself through <strong>metal</strong>?</h2> <p>Isabelle Prat: I learned at school, 40 years ago now. We produced jewels. We started with wire and really learned the basics. After that, I learned from a jeweler, who really taught me all the techniques, from making an alloy of gold — ‘melt it’, ‘lay it flat’, ‘shape the metal plane’ — to creating pieces for artists or particular clients. It was very enriching.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-683x1024.jpg" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5099" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-8x12.jpg 8w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09639-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the atelier of La môme bijou</figcaption></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-768x1024.jpeg" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5108" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-9x12.jpeg 9w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9457-scaled.jpeg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the atelier of La môme bijou</figcaption></figure></div></div> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the most <strong>unconventional material</strong> you have worked with?</h2> <p>Isabelle Prat: The feathers that I found in the Moulin Rouge workshops! I made a fairly visual and strong collection called ‘Bird of Paradise’. I found these beautiful burnt ostrich feathers in a workshop in Montmartre. They are from the ostrich’s moult, not plucked from them. The feathers were collected, assembled and died in a wide array of colours by the workshop. I used my favorite range of rainbow shades for the jewels, and also I created a fairly interesting montage marrying feathers and cordons. It made for quite visual pieces, while staying very light.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="655" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hoop_102PL_rouge_catalogue-1024x655.jpg" alt class="wp-image-4888" style="width:1137px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hoop_102PL_rouge_catalogue-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hoop_102PL_rouge_catalogue-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hoop_102PL_rouge_catalogue-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hoop_102PL_rouge_catalogue-18x12.jpg 18w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hoop_102PL_rouge_catalogue.jpg 1400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Describe your perfect <strong>creative day.</strong></h2> <p>Isabelle Prat: Where would I go? A very sunny place. During the holidays. I’d have an idea, while on a visit to a museum or on the beach, when someone who inspires me passes by, perhaps because they are wearing something particular that I would never have seen otherwise.</p> <p>Oftentimes, we give up on creating because we’re caught up with life and don’t really have time to think or open up our imagination. It is rather in escaping elsewhere that I find inspiration. When I’m on the move, the ideas come.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-768x1024.jpeg" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5093" style="width:514px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-9x12.jpeg 9w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_9721-scaled.jpeg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the showroom of La môme bijou</figcaption></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"> </div> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What does the <strong>‘super-vitamin world’</strong> you dream of look like?</h2> <p>Isabelle Prat: Being dressed in color, or even just having a colorful accessory, helps you start the day with a smile — a little more energy than dressing in gray, black or brown. I am quite partial to colour all year round, but even more so when the weather is gloomy. In winter and autumn, I don’t understand why people dress in black. Colour is important when the weather is gray, as it often is in cities, be it Paris or elsewhere.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5098" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09643-1-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Details inside the atelier of La môme bijou</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do you see the intersection of <strong>technology</strong> and jewelry design evolving in the next decade?</h2> <p>Isabelle Prat: Today, a lot of jewelry is made with computer-aided design. It’s done by software, and printed in 3D. I call on people who have mastered this knowledge to create certain collections, but I am more on the artisanal side. I really like to do things by hand. I am not too into technology, especially since I decided to start making jewelry with ‘grand feu’ enamel, an ancestral technique. I think it’s good to also keep the old methods for making jewelry.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="957" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-957x1024.png" alt="Môme" class="wp-image-5072" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-957x1024.png 957w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-280x300.png 280w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-768x822.png 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-1436x1536.png 1436w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-1914x2048.png 1914w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/web_ingrid-bra-neon-crush-ballon-jaune-copie-Background-Removed-11x12.png 11w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px"></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">La Môme Bijou’: Humans as beacons of <strong>colour.</strong></h2> <p><a href="https://www.lamomebijou.paris/pages/bijou-createur">‘La Môme Bijou’</a> is a playground, beckoning to those with youthful hearts.

One is the number of ambition — leader, creator, entrepreneur. This was the big moment of my life that helped me and gave me the creativity to create my brand. I learned the signification of all the numbers. I let my creativity put scents to all the numbers, and I developed olfactive scents.</p> <p>My brand, It’s not for everyone. It’s for people in spiritual awakening.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="819" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-819x1024.jpg" alt class="wp-image-5040" style="width:1250px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1-10x12.jpg 10w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-1.jpg 1680w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Spiritum Paris’s fragance n°1</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How does your brand embrace <strong>numerology</strong>?</h2> <p>Jonathan D.: Two years ago, I launched my brand with a collection of nine perfumes inspired by the nine numbers of numerology — nine life path numbers. My mission when I launched was just to give people their life path number.</p> <p>For example, number one is the number of ambition. Number two is the number of intuition. Three: harmony and communication, four: realization, five: protection. As such, I put a special energy in all my perfumes to connect with the person. This is my mission with Spiritum Paris. It’s to make others’ life mission known, to trust in it and follow their destiny.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="774" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-1024x774.jpg" alt class="wp-image-4956" style="width:890px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-1024x774.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-300x227.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-768x580.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-1536x1161.jpg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-2048x1548.jpg 2048w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC09624-fotor-20240821164041-16x12.jpg 16w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the boutique of Spiritum Paris</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">A memorable story about the creation of your <strong>favorite fragrance</strong>?</h2> <p>Jonathan D.: For the opening of the shop, I launched ‘Shamanism’. ‘Shamanism’ represents the olfactive memory of my first shamanic ceremony in Peru. The main ingredient of this perfume is sandalwood, since I was wearing a perfume with strong sandalwood notes during my first shamanic ceremony, and we were burning sandalwood incense. It has sandalwood, incense, sage, rose, amber and musk. It’s the fragrance of my life transformation. </p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/shamanism-768x1024.jpg" alt class="wp-image-4812" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/shamanism-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/shamanism-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/shamanism-9x12.jpg 9w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/shamanism.jpg 1100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shamanism, a scent for Spiritum Paris’s boutique launch.</figcaption></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> </div> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do you believe scent influences the <strong>mind</strong>, <strong>body</strong> and <strong>spirit</strong>?</h2> <p>Jonathan D.: As many people know, sandalwood sacralizes. Sandalwood incense elevates your spirit. Sage purifies and protects. This is the common base of all my perfumes, and I trust in it. All scents have powers, and how I use them depends on the number. For example, rose is connected to the power of love. Woods are strong and give you energy, just like cinnamon and vanilla. When you put on perfume, some scents give you emotion, others memories, others still souvenirs. To help you live your life, the nose has more power than any other senses.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="407" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-1024x407.jpg" alt class="wp-image-5026" style="width:1203px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-1024x407.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-300x119.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-768x305.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-1536x611.jpg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-2048x814.jpg 2048w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DSC09619-fotor-20240909113940-18x7.jpg 18w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the boutique of Spiritum Paris</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">If you could create a signature scent for any <strong>historical figure</strong>, who would it be?</h2> <p>Jontahan D.: It would be for Gandhi. And it would be a perfume with a sandalwood incense and sage base, and some spicy pepper curcuma (turmeric). Something very woody with incense, because he’s a spiritual person. Everyone in the world knows Gandhi.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do your fragrances connect people with the <strong>natural world</strong>?</h2> <p>Jonathan D.: Above all, I work with authenticity and with love. I use good quality ingredients, because you can’t call your brand Spiritum Paris and use plastic or materials that don’t respect nature. For instance, I use cork for my packaging.</p> <p>Cork is the clothing of the tree. Those clothes regenerate every ten years, so Spiritum Paris doesn’t cut trees. To me, it’s the most sustainable material you can use as packaging. Another example: my bottles are black — I us special paint for the glass because ultraviolet light kills the perfume.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-768x1024.jpg" alt class="wp-image-5001" style="width:527px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-9x12.jpg 9w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3325-fotor-20240904175916-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Inside the boutique of Spiritum Paris</figcaption></figure></div></div> </div> <p>Sometimes people ask, ‘Is your perfume 100% natural?’ I say no, because 100% natural scents is not ideal.

From her early days pursuing applied arts at school to her advanced studies in costume design and fashion design, Jennifer’s journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation. Inspired by iconic designers like Alexander McQueen and Iris van Herpen, she has carved out a niche for herself with her unique blend of elegance, comfort, and sustainability. Today, Jennifer Chambaret’s brand stands as a testament to her dedication to creating timeless, sculptural pieces that resonate with modern sensibilities.</em><br><em>Jennifer confides in us about her journey, her brand and her way of creating.</em></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could you describe your professional background and explain what motivated you to create your own <strong>fashion brand</strong>?</h2> <p><em>JC:</em> I have always enjoyed drawing, imagining objects, and observing. So I pursued a high school diploma in <strong>Applied Arts.</strong> I encountered the profession by joining a Diploma of Art Trades program — specializing in costume design, after high school. I was drawn to the idea of creating objects and working with moving bodies, and costume design seemed like a good path.<br>At that time, clothing became a real encounter for me. I became aware that clothing, as an object around the body, is a very complex, beautiful object, and that it can become a work of art in itself. This led me to fashion. I discovered the work of Alexander McQueen, Iris van Herpen… And a little later, Madeleine Vionnet, Azzedine Alaïa, Yohji Yamamoto.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Jennifer Chambaret" class="wp-image-4562" style="width:606px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2-12x12.jpg 12w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSF5714_NB-2.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jennifer Chambaret</figcaption></figure></div> <p>I continued my training by joining the <a href="https://www.ensad.fr/fr">Ensad</a>, in the Fashion Design sector. Project after project, my work became more refined. I would even say that fitting after fitting, I enjoyed seeing people feel good wearing my pieces. This gradually guided me towards the desire I have today to accompany people by dressing them in their daily lives. From <strong>sculptural pieces</strong>, I gradually moved towards zero waste designs, then single-piece cuts, adjustable sizes, unisex… I have experimented a lot and continue to do so. The search for volume is inexhaustible! And that’s what I like most in life. My professional experiences in Iris van Herpen’s studio and Yiqing Yin’s studio were inspiring and formative. They gave me the desire to undertake and create my own brand.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How would you <strong>define</strong> your creative style?</h2> <p><em>JC:</em> The <strong>DNA</strong> of <a href="https://www.chambaret.fr/imaginer">Chambaret</a> is above all the association of elegance and comfort. <br>An ample and fluid silhouette, timeless pieces, discreet sensuality. Natural materials of very high quality. <br>And if only one thing were to be remembered: great complexity in cut and detail. That’s my driving force in creation.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Jennifer Chambaret" class="wp-image-4565" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight-12x12.jpg 12w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_F_SHOOT_200233zoomlight.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chambaret — Photography: Joseph Rottner — Model: Elise Speicher</figcaption></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Jennifer Chambaret" class="wp-image-4566" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2-12x12.jpg 12w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Trench_H__DSF3496zoomlight2.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chambaret — Photography: Joseph Rottner — Model: Tibalt Dautel</figcaption></figure> </div> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could you tell us about the <strong>manufacturing process</strong> of your pieces?</h2> <p><em>JC:</em> Everything is done in my workshop in Montreuil. From design to production. I have a fairly comprehensive profile: I am a trained designer and have been teaching pattern making in a fashion school for six years now. This dual role allows me to manage all stages of collection development, from the idea to prototyping and production. By meeting other project leaders, I realized how lucky I am to have this job in my hands. So, I’m banking on that.<br>Furthermore, I am very inspired by the act of making.

This allows me to work with exceptionally high-quality materials while remaining accessible. I spend a lot of time looking at fabrics and finding gems. This is a very stimulating phase of inspiration for me. Just as a ceramist works with different clays, I am very in touch with my working materials: <strong>fabrics.</strong> They are what stimulate my volumes. <br>I place particular importance on transmission. Also, I am a teacher in a fashion school and regularly welcome interns to my workshop. I enjoy sharing with them what I discover about the entrepreneurial adventure, and our discussions are always stimulating for me.

Operating from her atelier nestled in the heart of Friedrichshain, Heinemann crafts collections that are a mélange of daring prints, vibrant colors, and innovative materials.</p> <p>However, Jana’s vision goes beyond the realm of fashion. She seeks to weave a tapestry of <strong>connection</strong> between individuals through her creations. She believes her art can illuminate the richness of diversity in the world, fostering a sense of unity and shared human experience.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fall-winter-collection-at-paris-fashion-week">Fall/Winter Collection at <strong>Paris Fashion Week</strong></h2> <p><em>Impari</em>’s latest collection is an exploration of <strong>translucence</strong> and vibrancy.

She draws vibrant inspiration from other artists too, such as South African designer <a href="https://www.richmnisi.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rich Minsi</a>, renowned for his exuberant and colour-drenched artworks.</p> <p>The crown jewel of this season’s collection is a standout unisex, all-inclusive dress. Featuring Impari’s signature prints and adaptable stripes for a <strong>customisable fit</strong>, this piece is designed to celebrate individuality and inclusivity.</p> <p>The dress’s kinetic beauty was a spectacle at the <em>Tranoi</em> show.

This <a href="https://textilevaluechain.in/in-depth-analysis/articles/textile-articles/zero-waste-pattern-cutting/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">zero-waste pattern cutting</a> approach is an emerging trend that maximizes fabric usage, yielding both ecological and economical benefits.</p> <p>In our conversation with Jana, two words resonated deeply — ‘<strong>sustainability</strong>’ and ‘<strong>social</strong>’. These concepts form the core of her brand’s ethos, and they echo through every aspect of her work. Through her unwavering commitment to these principles, Jana and <em>Impari</em> continue to set a powerful precedent for the future of fashion.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.visionmode.com/fashion/impari-berlin-beacon-of-sustainability/">Impari: Berlin’s Beacon of Sustainability</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.visionmode.com">VISION MODE</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_25141.mp4" length="4215135" type="video/mp4" /> <enclosure url="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_25151.mp4" length="3745989" type="video/mp4" /> <enclosure url="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_25381.mp4" length="1980092" type="video/mp4" /> </item> <item> <title>ISNURH: The Intersection of Fresh Design and Sustainability</title> <link>https://www.visionmode.com/fashion/isnurh-the-intersection-of-fresh-design-and-sustainability/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[David Ferrero]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 18 Jul 2023 09:18:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Fashion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[L’Avant-Garde]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.visionmode.com/?p=2808</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Immerse yourself in the story behind this design-centric company and its commitment to using avant-garde materials and ethical processes for their latest collection.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.visionmode.com/fashion/isnurh-the-intersection-of-fresh-design-and-sustainability/">ISNURH: The Intersection of Fresh Design and Sustainability</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.visionmode.com">VISION MODE</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>At the bustling hub of Paris Fashion Week, we sat down with Oliver Abrenica, the co-founder of the innovative fashion brand Isnurh.

The padding material inside the pocket is made of waste material from the conventional cashmere and silk production, making for a full-circle sustainable look. </p> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="710" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-710x1024.png" alt="Isnurh" class="wp-image-2814" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-710x1024.png 710w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-208x300.png 208w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-768x1107.png 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-1066x1536.png 1066w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-1421x2048.png 1421w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Shirt-Isnurh-8x12.png 8w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Isnurh</em>’s newest shirt with a recycled polyester pocket.

Lettl, born in Augsburg, Germany, discovered <strong>surrealism</strong> during his time as a communications officer in Paris during World War II. However, before fully focusing on developing his surrealist style in 1950, he first establishes himself as an artist, creating portraits, landscapes, and other types of work. </p> <p>Lettl gained recognition for his work and was invited to participate in the <em>Great Art Exhibition</em> in Munich in 1963, which helped establish his reputation as a surrealist painter. He held numerous solo exhibitions and established the <em>Association for the Promotion of Surreal Art</em> in 1992. The association aimed to make his paintings accessible to the public free of charge, outside of the art market, and led to the establishment of the <em><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187314-d19905785-Reviews-LETTL_Museum_fuer_surreale_Kunst-Augsburg_Swabia_Bavaria.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lettl Atrium Museum of Surreal Art</a></em> in Augsburg in 1993.</p> <p>Lettl believed that surrealism aimed to retrieve images from the unconscious mind using symbols, strange shapes, and a questioning of the familiar to create compelling, fantasy-like art. He felt that the unconscious played a significant role in shaping who we are and that it was crucial to <strong>acknowledge</strong> and incorporate it into artistic expression.</p> <p>The particular biography of the artist, being engaged in a war he didn’t approve and witnessing the conflict in Europe firsthand and its consequences, made a constant mark on his work. The concept of <strong>corruption</strong> was nothing new to him, as it’s reflected on some of the paintings that inspired this collection, such as <em><a href="https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-trial-wolfgang-lettl/PwETeBk6X_AZsQ?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Trial </a></em>or <em><a href="https://www.lettl.de/g096.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Wheel of Tears.</a></em></p> <figure class="wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="835" data-id="2038" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-1024x835.png" alt class="wp-image-2038" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-1024x835.png 1024w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-300x245.png 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-768x627.png 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-1536x1253.png 1536w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-15x12.png 15w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection-600x490.png 600w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Trial-by-Wolfgang-Lettl-inspiration-for-the-AW2023-collection.png 1624w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-trial-wolfgang-lettl/PwETeBk6X_AZsQ?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Trial, </em>Wolfgang Lettl, 1981</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="493" height="504" data-id="2037" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1979-The-Wheel-of-Tears.jpg" alt class="wp-image-2037" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1979-The-Wheel-of-Tears.jpg 493w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1979-The-Wheel-of-Tears-293x300.jpg 293w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1979-The-Wheel-of-Tears-12x12.jpg 12w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://www.lettl.de/g096.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Wheel of Tears, </em>Wolfgang Lettl, 1979</a></figcaption></figure> </figure> <p>The collection features <strong>airy</strong> pieces that create a striking contrast with the dark colours of their details and the overall concept.

The idea seems awfully simple. <a href="https://www.concettamagazine.com/moda/dadamax" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Upcycle and reinvent traditional men’s wardrobe.</a> But the idea birthed from a tragic event: her father’s death.</p> <p>Through her work, she lets go of her grief and <strong>celebrates life</strong>: her father’s but also all of our fathers’, grand-fathers’, and of all those great men that, in their own simple or private way, touched and transformed our life stories.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sustainability. Towards the future. </h2> <p>One rarely sees high-fashion be as sustainable as <a href="https://www.dadadadamax.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DADMAX’s proposal and manifesto</a>. <strong>Upcycling</strong> is the root of <strong>fashionable sustainability</strong> itself. Reinventing, recuperating, transforming. It also means little to no waste, with no need of new fabrics, dyes or carbon release.</p> <p>In addition, the cutouts are preciously kept to be eventually reclaimed for later pieces or inspiration.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image alignfull size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="761" height="1024" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55-761x1024.png" alt class="wp-image-1552" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55-761x1024.png 761w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55-223x300.png 223w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55-768x1033.png 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55-9x12.png 9w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55-600x807.png 600w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.42.55.png 1048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px"></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winter-Autumn 2023 at Paris Fashion Week.</h2> <p>Both nostalgic and ground-breaking, Dada’s style captures and fascinates the eye contrasting tradition with grunge. This collection was no different: <strong>acidic</strong> strings of colours came and infused light into traditionally sober blazers.</p> <p>Her new piece, “Fathers”, stands out in this collection, according to the designer herself, as the one most representative of DADAMAX’s message. The bright pink used in the lettering clashes in harmony with the classic black blazer underneath. That electric colour also breaks gender norms, bringing a powerful feminine element to the solidly and universally masculine word <strong>‘fathers’</strong> and to the first form of masculinity we come in contact with in life.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="880" height="495" src="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.28.49-edited.png" alt class="wp-image-1555" srcset="https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.28.49-edited.png 880w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.28.49-edited-300x169.png 300w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.28.49-edited-768x432.png 768w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.28.49-edited-18x10.png 18w, https://www.visionmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-17.28.49-edited-600x338.png 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px"></figure></div> <p>Discover DADAMAX further in our interview with its softly bright — and brilliant — creator, <strong>Dada Maio.</strong> Or read more about sustainable fashion and brilliant designers in our dedicated news <a href="https://paradigmemode.com/fashion/">section</a>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@visionmode.com/video/7195882812816313606" data-video-id="7195882812816313606" data-embed-from="oembed" style="max-width:605px; min-width:325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@visionmode.com" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@visionmode.com?refer=embed">@visionmode.com</a> <p>And here’s our second episode of <a title="sustainablefashionweek" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/sustainablefashionweek?refer=embed">#sustainablefashionweek</a> series, meet Dada from @Dadamax at the Tranoï Showroom <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f49a.png" alt="💚" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Follow to meet more designers!
