Lou de Bètoly is a French designer born in 1985 who works and lives in Berlin.
Her challenge is to bring classical craftsmanship and Haute Couture techniques into a modern context.

After graduating from Esmod Paris with highest honours in 2006, she works a few seasons at the studio of Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris on the prêt à porter knitwear collections, as well as the Haute Couture embroideries and knit.
In 2011, she launches in Berlin the duo label Augustin Teboul, dedicated to all black, high- end collections retailed internationally in luxury stores.

She is at the moment working on her solo project under the pseudonym Lou de Bètoly, an anagram of her real name Odély Teboul.

She developed skills for hand knit, crochet and embroidery during her early childhood. Over the years, she established a unique handwriting, leading into strong imaginary embellished textile structures.
She sees fashion like a mix of sculpting and painting with the needle, as well as a sociological experiment.

Female artists, freedom, and women empowerment are inspirational sources, with muses like Niki de st Phalle, Louise Bourgeois, Annette Messager, George Sand, Marina Abramovic and Andy Warhol, people who challenged aesthetically a reflection about the society at a given time.

Her perpetual questioning about life is translated deeply into her creations. Evolving aspects are, mass consumption, commerciality of art, value of objects, happiness at high speed and therefore value of time.
As a Permanent traveller, she describes her mind like a sponge, and seeks for the unexpected beauty of the every day life, and people.

The designer means more than just creating garments, and functional products, she feels _Like De st Phalle explained_ that by going deeper, in the sense of poetry, by trying to express herself strongly, it will necessarily lead to an expression of the situation of the woman in the society.

With her new brand, Lou de Bètoly brings surrealism, decadence, poetry and dreams in garments.

Joaillerie Wild Edition is Pascale Monvoisin’s fine jewelry line that features precious, semi-precious stones and diamonds set on 9 carat gold. 

At the heart of Pascale Monvoisin’s creative universe lies new horizons, this might be due to her previous work where she travelled the world as flight attendant. From Buenos Aires to Bangkok, from San Francisco to Rio, Delhi, and Tokyo, she nurtures her imagination and sense of beauty with colors, atmosphere, art and culture. Wandering through streets in Africa or into an anonymous bar in Los Angeles, contemplating a Rauschenberg or Rothko piece, she feels, above all, freedom to create. These light and confident energies help her take the steps to express herself as a jewelry designer.
