The Showstopper

Blending daring designs with extravagant elegance and an anarchic spirit, Alexandre Vauthier creates statement dresses and separates made for after dark

What has the journey with your brand been like over the last 11 years? My first collection had immediate commercial resonance. We started with two Haute Couture collections a year and then two other ready-to-wear collections. We have gradually moved forward to meet the demand. Then we added intermediate collections and we continue to develop and expand our commercial territory. What does your brand represent? It’s hard for me to talk about this. I work on an aesthetic, with a very French flair. The ambassadors and the clients of the house would speak about it better than me.

What do your designs represent? An instinctive feeling of femininity; Paris and the chic French style; and luxury.
