About Michele
Michele Say is an Ivorian-American fashion designer. She started in the field of Communications and Human Resources but always had burgeoning ideas about redesigning her environment and expressing it through the design of urban wear.
In 2010 she moved to the US, and effectively started her design career in New York City. By initially patching pieces of fabrics and skin together, she created her first collection in collaboration with her Fashion designer brother Jean-Jacques Olivier, and from then on gave a different allure and purpose to trendy clothing. She recreated a new meaning of urbanwear by sewing luxury to ordinary
My History
I draw inspiration through recreating sceneries into a sort of fantaisyland
The creative process is drawn from a recreation that runs accross periods, moments and places.
I generally have an unsettled feeling and a need to redesign my environment through recasting people, their functions irrespective of past perceptions but rather through a futuristing lense. Yes, I draw inspiration through recreating sceneries into a sort of fantaisyland. This fantaisy is readily expressed through the clothing creation process and the patching of old and new fabrics to produce ensembles with a provoking yet simple design.
The model of what I call the urban futurosexual male and female with a total acceptance and appreciatioin of differences. This is my inspiration and hindsight. This is what motivates me, and allows me to transcribe my freedom into a scenery where my ideas and clothes are totally Ok.
