Hi my name is Pauline, I’m 22 years old and I am a French Fashion Designer specialized in Footwear design.
Having graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from ESMOD Paris, I am now Junior Footwear Designer at La Manufacture 49 (Eram Group).
At one of the last footwear design o
ffices in France, I learn about the techniques, issues and realities of the footwear industry, and production made in France.
My first professional experience in 2022 was as a studio assistant for the French Haute Couture House Alexandre Vauthier.
In 2023, I'm going back to this great company as an assistant designer, access & shoes.
It was during my collaborations with the Guiseppe zannoti teams that my desire to specialize in footwear became obvious.
Passionate and enterprising, I had the opportunity to live in New York for 6 months. In love with Americaine culture and fashion, this experience was a defining moment for me. Assistant designer for Crémieux at this moment. I was able to discover the world of American business and textiles. It was a formative and enriching experience.
Today, I hope to be able to combine my knowledge of Haute Couture and luxury with the shoe industry.
A real passion since childhood, I'm eager to pursue professional opportunities in which I can learn and grow, both creatively and personally.
Best regards,
Pauline Fouillade
