> Can you briefly introduce yourself ?
Clément : I am Clément Taverniti, 21, originally from Toulouse, I’ve lived in Paris for three years, I am still as fashion marketing student at the ESMOD school. I launched my own fashion label Still Good last summer.
> How did you start designing clothes? Is it something you’ve always wanted to do ?
Clément : I’ve always been connected to the world of fashion because my father has worked in that field since the 70s/80s. So it felt logical to create my own brand. When I first arrived in Paris, I was very interested in graphic design, fashion in general (thanks to my school). At the same time, I started collaborating with a very dynamic brand “I Love By”, before working with Alexandre Guarneri, founder of the mythical brand Homecore, which has taught me a lot. After defining my graphic and creative orientations, I felt like going solo. I work on Still Good while finishing my studies, but in the long term I’d like to devote 100% of my time to that project.
> What are your sources or inspiration ?
Clément : They are very diverse, I’m into lots of things: arts in general, painting, designer fashion, architecture and furniture design.
I really need to take into account everything around me for my creations to be perfect.
I pay extra attention to avant-garde and modern arts, minimalism and geometric patterns. I’m always looking for confidential designers or minimalist graphic artists. When I need to have a clear vision of my ideas, I read a lot of philosophy, poetry and science books that aim at trying to improve the world.
> Fashion, what for ?
Clément : Fashion is a nice way of escaping reality, dreaming, expressing your personality, while conveying concrete messages. Fashion is a great way of expressing oneself and changing mentalities. It’s a very powerful communications means in our society.

Clément : After collaborating with the ephemeral boutique organized by AtHome at the 104 (Modern art/conceptual venue in Paris) in January, I’m going to work on a t-shirt project with the graphic design studio BastardGraphics, and then with Brodinski. I’m also going to work with a brand new brand of furniture to design a pattern for a couch and a table. I’m also going to develop a capsule collection with brand Jimmy Taverniti… Well, cool stuff and interesting opportunities!
