We love misericordia


"I like Fashion, because I'm completely in love with the workshop atmosphere
"


> Can you briefly introduce yourself ?

I was born, in the suburb of Paris, and raise next to a cemetery. I studied Fine Arts. I draw since I discover that I have 2 hands. I love cinema and watch at least 4 movies per week. I started doing fashion by accident, and I never recover from the accident since then. I live between Peru (6 months per year) and the rest of the world. I'm a peruvian resident. I don't eat cheese.
 





> How did you start designing clothes? Is it something you’ve always wanted to do ?
I have never thought about designing clothes. I went to South America, and meet incredible people, and together we decided to create a fashion brand, with new and uncommon rules. We had nothing. So, nothing to lose, everything to do.


It's a human project that is disguised with costumes. If you look at it closely, you are just going to find emotions.


Now, we are proud to be the first Peruvian fashion brand present on the international fashion scene. It is the best reward that could have been given to us and the best proof that everything is possible.



 

> What are your sources or inspiration ?
My source of inspiration is South America, the city of Lima, Art and Music… And this damned world that makes me crazy. I try to absorb all the sensations that I got from my travels around the world and landscapes I saw, to maintain an idea of Beauty against the chaos. I mean chaos that I can feel in living in strong urban centres, where you can find all the stupid people who think they can rule the world. I'm also one of these stupid one, but I try to get in a cure.
 

> Fashion, what for?
Fashion is a collective project, where you can develop a strong energy around a great team that needs to stick together to reach its dreams. I like Fashion, because I'm completely in love with the workshop atmosphere where sewers, cutters, patterns makers, print, embroidery and knitting artisans and myself are working hand in hand. This energy and this sharing that you find at the Shanty of Haute Couture Misericordia, our so-called workshop, is something unique that makes life turn to be sublime like a poetry. We wear this dream on our body everyday and share it with the rest of the world. What more could we expect?
 



> Which artists would you like to make discover with the readers ?
The most beautiful movie that I saw last year: Alamar, directed by Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio
 
 



> Your news? Your projects ?
I'm making new videos for Misericordia that you can see on our website. I'm designing the new collection Misericordia with some great surprises and strong all over embroideries. At the same, I'm making the drawings for our fifth collaboration with Kris Van Assche.
 
 
> Your favorite adresses in your city ?
In Lima : "La Herradura", a beach on the side of the city, a fantastic treasure, where you can see dolphins and majestic birds. 

In Paris : "Le musée de l'Orangerie", the room for the " Nympheas " of Claude Monet. When light blows your eyes, Eden is in front of you.
 

> The one question you’d like to be asked ?
Do you want to follow me to discover a secret? I will always respond YES.
 

> Favorite drink?
A limonade, homemade without sugar in a cold glass on the beach, with my toes nestled inside the burning sand.
 

> Describe a successful evening/night ?
 A night on the drawing table, when inspiration strikes you deeply, and makes you feel crazy. Could be perfect if it ends with a woman and some music.
 
 
 
> The thing more the nutcase whom you did see ?
Someone ready to make everything for Love.

 
> Your last concert ?
Cypress Hill and Calle 13, at the Monumental Stadium in Lima. I trought myself in a giant pogo and broke my glasses.


 
 
> Your last exhibition ?
"Tous cannibales " at la Maison rouge in Paris. I went out from the exhibition with vibrations under my skin.  
 

 
> A motto ?
"No mas Utopia", no more Utopia. That's the motto of Misericordia.
 

> One last word ?
Passion
