From Parisian Haute Couture studios to California
In all her creations, Orelie, a French fashion designer now based in Los Angeles, strives to combine French elegance with the excellence of Haute Couture — which she learned while working at CHANEL and DIOR —
as well as an absolute degree of comfort.
Her goal is to fully gratify her clients when they wear her creations.
Since she was a child Orelie wanted to live in California and design beautiful dresses for refined and elegant women.
Grace Kelly and Dior were the heros of her youth.
It sounded completely crazy for a little country girl to have this ambition, especially one who had a difficult time at school. But to her, it was obvious. She knew she was going to do it, no matter what.
So at age 16, she went to Paris, against her parents' wishes: she had one day to convince the great couturiers based on her drawings. It was Pierre Cardin who trusted her. He became her mentor and taught her everything.
Later Orelie perfected her experience and worked for Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, and on some of the most beautiful dresses in the world while at CHANEL and DIOR Haute Couture.
In 2019, she finally accomplished what has always seemed inevitable to her: she launched her own high-end couture brand and came to Los Angeles to develop it.
As she's a stylist, she draws all of her creations. And she makes all the Couture pieces that she delivers in person — the most exciting moment, by the way. Her ready-to-wear line is also entirely made by her and her team here in California.
As she's very demanding on the quality and used to Haute Couture standards, she seeks to maintain the highest standards: she uses only the finest materials and she has forged a world-class team that supports her in her enterprise
