We love gaelle


It's time to discover the 10 winners of the WSNBlog young designer contest. They seduced our professional jury, thanks to their original and creative universe as well as their passion for fashion. They came, the tried, they conquered ! 


 
Here, Gaelle Constantini !










 
 

> Mr Blog : Hi Gaelle! Before we start, congrats and thank you for granting me a little of your time. So, first of all, can you describe to our readers your first impression when you learnt that you had won?

It came as a surprise. When I understood, I just went mad with joy!

 

 

 

 

> So, can you briefly introduce yourself ?

 

Correspondence course + lots of books read about fashion, cutting techniques, fashion design and sketching + internship with Irina Volkonsky and Jeremy Sultan.

 

 

 

 

 

> How did you start designing clothes? Is it something you’ve always wanted to do ?

I designed and made my own clothes to go to work, to go out and for my friends. I created my own stuffed animals. I already found watching my mother putting hems on my father’s pants fascinating

 

 

> What are your sources or inspiration ?

Women of our time, cinema costumes

 

 

> Fashion, what for ?

It’s the only way I can express myself   

 

 

> Which artists would you like to make discover with the readers ?

Damir Doma, a true genious





SS 11 collection presented in Paris.

 



> Your news? Your projects ?

After Who’s Next, I’m going to work on a personal project related with shoes (I’m a fetishist) I’d like to develop my own interpretation of these wonderful accessories… But  it’s a secret.

> Your favorite adresses in your city ?


As an authentic Parisian, I have lunch at the Café Charlot, or at home because I have a little terrace. I like going to the Parc Floral to read. I have drinks at the Loggia, a Corsican deli owned by some friends. I have diner at the Tokyo Eat, the Gigot or the Cosy. I go out at the Baron, I work at the Montana… As for boutiques, I wear… Gaëlle Constantini.




> The one question you’d like to be asked ?

Can’t think of one!





> Favorite drink?

In the evening, I like red wine… I also love getting dizzy on rum so ti punch is a favorite!




> Describe a successful evening/night ?

Dear friends, rock and pop!



> The thing more the nutcase whom you did see ?

Can’t think of one!

> Your last concert ?

Elephant  (a friend of mine) I just love their pop-folk world… They played just before Muse’s private concert




> Your last exhibition ?

Sonia Ryckiel drawings at the Catherine Houard gallery (Saint Germain des Prés, Paris). An extraordinary woman!




> A motto ?

One day, I asked a friend why he didn’t want to learn French although he lived in Paris. He said it was because he didn’t want to hear what people around him were saying … I almost felt like moving to another country.



 

> One last word ?

Hope
