It
was at a very young age, while he was living in the French city
of Lyon, that Alexis Mabille discovered fashion. Inspired by wandering
around museums and his family's attics, he became interested in
cutting up forgotten petticoats, pieces of lace and other knick-knacks
and sewing them back together. He later took his first steps towards
becoming a designer, when as a teenager he created theatre and
party costumes, as well as outfits for his friends and family.
After receiving his diploma from Paris' Chambre Syndicale de la
Haute Couture in 1997, he undertook apprenticeships at famed fashion
houses Ungaro and Nina Ricci, before joining the team at Christian
Dior with whom he stayed for nine years. During his time at Dior
he created exquisite fine jewellery for John Galliano, as well
as the Dior Homme line overseen by Hedi Slimane.
2005
marked the launch of Alexis Mabille, a collection of unisex ready-to-wear
clothing and TREIZEOR, an imaginatively revisited line of bow
-ties, while continuing his collaborations with the worlds of
couture and beauty. Alexis invites us to delve into his highly
personal, frivolous, dynamic, imaginative and racy universe, in
order to discover a fresh take on unisex fashion. One where the
elements of sophistication and fantasy are taken to new charismatic
and enthralling heights.
