Vivid coulours, unconventional prints and wonderfull embroidery, Benoît Missolin
embodies the concept of pop fashion, Benoît always have fun with clichés.
His naïve and animated creations are an invitation to “go party”!
Born in Avignon in 1973, Benoît spent his childhood in Provence, where as a child
he creates outfits for his Snoopy, scribbled designs in the margins of his schoolbook
and became consumed by the world of design.
This surge of creativity never disappeared, and was maintaned well into his older years
when Benoît sent his sketches to big fashion houses in Paris.
With a response from Christian Lacroix began his career in the fashion industry
with the couturier, acting as a mentor and a guide.
After attending the shool of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, and heading
off to the Studio Berçot, Benoît completes a series of apprenticeship, at
Christian Lacroix -bien sur- but also Jean Colonna, Thierry Mugler, and Fred Sathal
where he is appointed assistant.
He designs his first collections in 1997, but things really start to take shape in 2001
when he presents his first mixed catwalk show whith a Tyrolese disco inspiration.
The following collections go from “Croisière à Hawaî” to “Piste aux étoiles”.
Benoît then wins the Swiss Textiles award at the Gwand Festival.

has collaborated with clients such as Anna Sui, Absolute Vodka and photographer
