Vivid coulours, unconventional prints and wondefull embroidery, Benoït Missolin embodies the concept of pop fashion, Benoît always have fun with clichés. His naïve and animated creations are an invitation to "go party". Borni in Avignon in 1973, Benoît spent his childhood in Provence where as a child he creates outfits for his Snoopy, scribbled designs in the margins of his schoolbook and became consumed by the world of design. This surge of creativity never disappeared, and was maintaned well into his old years when Benoît sent his sketches to big fashion houses in Paris. With a response from Christian Lacroix began his career in the fashion industry with the couturier, acting as a mentor and a guide. After attending the school of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, and heading off to the Studio Berçot, Benoît completes his apprenticeship, at Christian Lacroix -bien sur- but also Jean Colonna, Thierry Mugler and Fred Sathal where is appointed assistant. He designs his first collections in 1997, but things really start to take shape in 2001 when he presents his first mixed catwalk show with a Tyrolese disco inspiration. The following collections go from " Croisiére à Hawaï" to "Piste aux étoiles". While Benoît wins the Swiss textiles award at the Gwand Festival, he finds out his passion for headpieces. Benoît Missolin creates the most exquisite, unique and vivicious pieces of milinery / headwear you can find on luxury multibrands shelves, his brand is stocked by the most prestigious stores around the world, from Le Bon MArché in Paris to Liberty in London, tsum in Moscow, Via Bus Stop in Tokyo or Corso Como in Shangai and Milan.
