Ô – who prefers to go by the pseudonym, was born in Antwerp (Belgium) and has spent much of his professional life in Paris and Brussels, but has called many a country his home. He earned a diploma in Graphic arts, illustration and Fashion Design from Munich, Germany. His vast experience spans the corridors of the Haute Couture houses such as Lecoanet-Hemant, Jean-Louis Scherrer and Torrente. And then on to designing for Rena Lange in Munich and Thomas Pink in London.  After many years of working for prestigious fashion houses, Ô now prefers to freelance and work on developing his own haute couture line, which gives him the opportunity to affirm a very personal style, decidedly feminine and elegant, spiced with a dash of extravagance, witty details and a “soupçon” of humour and frivolity. He brings to the front a very lively and contemporary sense of the classic. A real signature of his unique style.
