decouverte de la creatrice Marie Laroche

 Interview In English below.
A little journey through the creative process of Marie Laroche of MarieL Boutique.


« Mes premiers souvenirs de couture remontent vers l’âge de mes 5 ans pendant les vacances d’été où j’avais passé l’après-midi avec ma maman à attendre qu’elle finisse de coudre ma jupe « tournante ». Elle était bleue marine à pois blancs.


Je me souviens de la joie quand elle avait fini et de la fierté que j’avais a dire que c’était ma maman qui me l’avait faite. J’ai ensuite appris à coudre avec elle et avec ma grand-mère.
Ce n’est qu’adulte, que j’ai commencé de vouloir créer. Je dessinais les patrons que j’imaginais et je donnais vie à mes idées.
Mes premières créations étaient des sacs à main. Il y en a eu de toutes les formes, de toutes les couleurs de toutes les tailles. Et puis je suis tombée dans l’univers des petits : la gaieté, la douceur, la famille, l’amour. Je me suis donc resté dans cette univers.

 J’adore coudre les tissus tout doux pour les petits, assortir les couleurs. Je pars de la demande qu’on me fait et à partir du thème et des couleurs choisis je laisse court à mon imagination et mon intuition pour créer l’article commandé en répondant au mieux aux attentes.
Tous les articles de la boutique sont personnalisables ce qui rend chaque article unique.
Depuis peu je fais également de la personnalisation d’objets de décoration comme les lampes de chevet. »

"My first sewing memories back to the age of my 5 for the summer where I spent the afternoon with my MOM to wait for it to end of my 'rotating' skirt sewing. It was Navy Blue with white polka dots.
I remember joy when she was finished and pride that I say it was my mother that made me. Then I learned to sew it with my grandmother.

This is what adult I started to create. I drew patterns that I imagined and give life to my ideas. My first creations were hand bags. Was there all shapes, all colors of all sizes. And then I fell in the world of children: joy, sweetness, family, love. So I stayed in this universe. I love sewing soft fabrics for kids, match the colors. I started from the theme and request it made me and chosen colors let short my imagination and intuition to create the item ordered meets the expectations.

All items in the shop are customizable making each one  unique.
Recently I also do customized  bedside lamps. »

rencontre with Vero of Singuliere Elegance

Vero is a French creative with multiple interests and talents,

The love of a job well done

I attended an art school in Paris but I spent most of my life in south of France. I always have loved working with my hands. I started with drawing, painting, experimenting with collages, textures, colors and all kind of medium. I also love photography.

I agree with the idea that things made by hand have a life and a soul, because when you create something, first in your mind and then with your hands, it's a little bit of yourself you put in the objects you create.

Now, I create fashion accessories, bags and jewelry as well as Eco fashion (redesigned and vintage clothing. Altered Couture). My favorite materials are : leather, stone, glass, and metal. Follow fashion trends is not my thing, I rather follow my own inspiration of the moment. Even if I like the result, I never try to do twice the same object, this is why I only make one of a kind creations

Fashion designer with Jersey

A few months ago, I met a really fab fashion designer.
Her name is Coral Turner and we spent hours talking about everything French, and a few minutes about Fashion and jewellery of course. She provide an exclusive service and wonderul pieces made with jersey fabric featuring her prints.

As I am also a fashion illustrator, we toyed with the idea of a collaboration.



Tonight, while attending a business meeting, What a surprise !
One of the guests turned out to be no other than Coral.
This time, in addition to have a wee chat about France, she perused one of my sketch books and we may get a little project together...



In the meantime I am posting my favourite pieces from her latest collections.
These collections bear daring names such as Glamour and Prohibition.
As you will see, the style is daring, sexy, colourful and comfortable.

I selected the Cat woman top, featuring animal print - bang on trend and ideal for every day. I love the mad sleeves and the beige tone that goes with every thing from jeans to short leather skirt with high boots for a Barbarella look.

And for the evening, I would love to make an entrance wearing the stylishly vibrant Xanadu dress. Sue to be a talking point ...the dress, not me... mind you.
Wonderful warm colours, a mix of flower power Austin Powers meet Eartha Kitt. Long slender line to make my legs look even longer. Just what I need.

With a fully equipped studio, Coral Turner is the designer and producer, responsible for all aspects of the creative process: from concept through to finished design including fabric selection, testing, fitting construction and production.
