chambre de couture

My name is Pascal, I am 29 years old, and I became a father last November.

In March 2023, I found my way into fashion as part of addiction therapy. To fill the void left by alcohol and other drugs, I sought out a hobby that could occupy my time. Quickly, I realized that fashion was my remedy. Three months later, I launched my first collection online.

Before that, I worked as a machine fitter in the metal industry for eight years. Although it didn't bring me happiness, it greatly contributed to my life today. I'm adaptable and resilient, having gained proficiency in operating and programming embroidery machines.

A year after teaching myself how to sew, screen print, and embroider, I caught the attention of 032c. Maria Koch recognized talent in my work and invited me to Berlin as a designer.

However, it soon became apparent that working as a fashion designer in an employed position didn't fulfill me. After six months, I returned to my hometown and rented a larger studio, where I still work today. That period was incredibly enlightening, both personally and technically. Maria showed me that there was something special within me.
