Alexandre Vauthier
Alexandre Vauthier is a French high fashion designer, he founded his brand in 2008
Alexandre Vauthier was born on November 30, 1971 in Agen, France. He studied at the ESMOD fashion school
and after graduating, in 1993 he began an internship at the prestigious Haute Couture fashion house of Thierry Mugler. Then, in 1997, he joined Jean Paul Gaultier, becoming responsible for the Gaultier Couture collection for eight years.
From 2012 to 2016 he was the artistic director of his premium line of the Pyrenex brand.
The brand
In 2008 he founded his couture house and made his debut in Paris in 2009 during Paris Fashion Week. From now on, Christian Louboutin will start designing all the shoes for the Vauthier fashion shows. An army of Amazons poured onto the catwalk, strong and sensual women dressed in dark gray dresses with a radical but sober cut. His natural need for precision and rigor and his radical cuts are expressed through a style inspired by his French culture and his Anglo-Saxon influences. Already from the first collection, Vauthier is not afraid to push luxury to the limit:
giant furs, transparent tops, draped and provocative dresses with open backs and plunging necklines.
Alexandre Vauthier has chosen to work hand in hand with French artisans, from Lesage embroidery to Lemarié feathers. The Maison’s collections are characterized by precision cuts and continuous experimentation with volumes. The Maison has been the 14th member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute-Couture since 2014 and is now part of the official calendar of this unique fashion week.
Vauthier is known and loved by many, including the likes of Beyoncé, Miley and Rihanna.
