This Paris-born newcomer studied ballet for eight years before finding his love of fashion. His debut last year showcased a romantic look at the professional woman, with body-conscious lines and contrasting panels. Although he's still very green on the Fashion Week turf, he is already looking at his next big project: a potential furniture line.
