As the creator of the eco-responsible brand RAPPAZ, the designer is committed to exploring textile materials, driven by her passion for nature and art. The inspiration for RAPPAZ comes from abandoned urban spaces and artists such as Picassiette, evoking faded colours in harmony with lush vegetation. RAPPAZ positions itself as a luxury ready-to-wear brand that emphasises craftsmanship and uniqueness while offering an haute couture capsule.
RAPPAZ creations, dyed artisanally from plants and crafted from recycled materials like tablecloths, utilise patchwork techniques to celebrate the harmony between nature and humanity. By merging punk, natural and haute couture aesthetics, RAPPAZ promotes inclusive fashion that values the diversity of women. Its approach questions the value of clothing, rooted in the time invested and the ability to transform the old into the new. RAPPAZ pieces aim to convey the emotion and beauty of nature.
