JULIEN CLAES, A DESIGNER
Julien Claes is more than a talented designer; he has always venerated the design object. The process of designing, the various manual and mechanical techniques are the essential stages that give life to the object. Behind the fashion accessory that’s finally created lies a Herculean task in which each craftsmen plays a vital part. And it’s easy to see why, Julien has always moved in his favourite worlds: knitwear, shoes, fine leather goods.
Craftsmen’s trades, traditions that endure… And on these firm foundations, a modern vision of the accessory, carefully thought out and designed in the Zeitgeist but achieved thanks to techniques passed down for generations. The coming-together of Present and Past, which feeds the imagination of the young designer.
From yarn to knitted garment, from skin to the bag as an object of desire… At Julien Claes, nothing is disjointed… everything is carefully thought out and constructed from A to Z.
