Ségolène de Witt Parisian designer | Lemontrend
Ségolène de Witt is a Parisian designer; was born & raised in Paris, France, where she lived 26 years. She studied in Paris fashion design and started working in the industry as a photo stylist and wardrobe chef on fashion shows. 2009 life brought her to Vienna, where she worked 6 years as a costume designer for international theatre & opera. 2014 she started a small brand specialized in corset making, this is one of her favorite pieces and it fits, to almost every woman.
2016 she lounged her very first collection „sculpture des corps„. ( A mixture of Prêt à porter & Couture, strong graphic, are defining the shape of this collection. )
Actually quite late... I always knew that I want to work in art, but I was not sure if I wanted to became an artist, graphist and so on... so I did a lot of different studies lol I went to the Academy des beaux-arts de Paris ( that is in Vienna „ die Angewandte „ ) I did Penninghen LESAG ( graphic design ) and I think with 24 I finally said now I know LOL and I did fashion.
Working in that industry is not easy, it is a lot of hard work, you are constantly searching for something new, better, different as a designer, but you also have to think like a business person which can be quite hard for a creative person. Designing is actually a small part of your work.
But when you see the result and the fact that people like your designs, it is worth all of it.
What I love about my work is the creative part. When I search for new lines, ways to shape the feminine body. That´s what I really enjoy.
LOL, this is a very hard question! it is everything and nothing. It can be a song, a city, people, a painting, architecture, a feeling, or just talk with someone. Everything around you is a source of inspiration.
I wanted this collection to be very graphic with strong lines that define the body shape. I had this view of a very feminine body, that would be accentuated by these lines.
That was the start let say of my inspiration, I started sketching while listening to some music and the clips came with „Paris oh la la „ from grace & the nocturnals.
So, I guess it was inspiration from architecture, music, body shape, all mixed together.
I don´t really have a favorite material to work with, I think each material has his own purpose, and it depends on what kind of look you want to achieve.
