I'm the Founder of @MiniMeParis, a parisian creative brand since 2014. I have made my carreer in fashion design in luxury houses such as Chanel, Hermes even Balmain. I had the chance to dress celebrities, Lady Gaga is one of them, and more than 5000 guest, you might become one of them too! I am passionated by art and fashion in general and especially craftmanship. That's the reason why today I am hosting with my team multiple experiences towards french artisanal craftmanship!
