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.
