J.Mendel
“My goal for this collection was to integrate all the aspects of beauty that have shaped my sense of style since I was a boy, mixing them with the contemporary principles of the Mendel Maison.” These are the words of Gilles Mendel, Creative Director for the brand, as he traces the story of his life: from his childhood in Paris, to his relocating to New York. After two decades spent in the Big Apple, the fashion designer has returned to the City of Lights to show his first haute couture collection as a guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.
