Her work was immediately noticed (and bought) by stores like Onward in Paris, Purple in Tokyo, and Penelope in Brescia. A year later she founded the company bearing her name and distributed her clothes around the world. At present 80% of her production is sold outside of France. Every garment she creates is unique, made with handpainted and numbered fabrics.
