In the vibrant world of fashion, Parisian-born visionary Faustine Steinmetz has emerged as a distinctive force, seamlessly blending tradition with avant-garde creativity.

PROCESS

Her journey into the realm of design commenced at Atelier Chardon Savard in Paris, where she laid the foundation for her artistic pursuits. Subsequently, driven by an insatiable passion for pushing boundaries, Steinmetz ventured across the English Channel to London, embarking on a transformative academic odyssey at Central Saint Martins.

Under the mentorship of the esteemed late Professor Louise Wilson OBE, she honed her skills and cultivated a unique design philosophy.

Prior to establishing her eponymous label, Faustine Steinmetz garnered invaluable experience working alongside luminaries such as Jeremy Scott and Henrik Vibskov. These formative years in the industry provided her with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate tapestry that is fashion. Armed with a wealth of knowledge and a profound appreciation for craftsmanship, Steinmetz took a bold step forward, founding her own label in early 2013.

A pivotal moment in her creative journey occurred with the acquisition of her first handloom, symbolizing a commitment to artisanal craftsmanship. From that juncture, Faustine Steinmetz set a resolute course, crafting a distinct identity within the fashion landscape. What sets her apart is an unwavering dedication to the artistry of design, placing craftsmanship on a pedestal above fleeting trends.

At the core of Steinmetz’s design ethos is a commitment to creating basics that transcend the ordinary. These are garments that, while embodying a universal simplicity, carry an unmistakable mark of individuality. What distinguishes her work is the meticulous process behind each creation.

Faustine Steinmetz and her small team are not content with merely designing; they immerse themselves in the entire creative journey. From the inception of an idea to the final stitches, every piece undergoes a transformative journey guided by the hands of the artisans.
