In 2006, Cécile de La Chapelle launched her dressmaking workshop in Paris, with the audacious decision of working only with white.

 

At the age of 10, Cécile, a designer at heart, discovered the sewing machine. Nothing suggested then that she would end up being a passionate designer and seamstress, choosing to specialize in wedding dresses and christening gowns.

 

After studying at Supdemod in Lyon and Esmod in Paris, her talent was quickly acknowledged by well-known seamstresses. She was praised by the head seamstress of Christian Lacroix when she created the wedding cortege of Prince Jean and Philomena d'Orléans.

 

As a craftswoman who loves fine workmanship, Cecile only creates entirely handmade made-to-measure dresses. She values trusting relationships with her future brides. She supports her clients in their choices and shares their aspirations. What matters the most to her is the subtle search for cuts that highlight the bust of the bride and the delicate feel of the fabrics to find the perfect volume for the dress.

 

Being a great listener, Cécile pays attention to details. Her great eye seeks to enhance the natural beauty of her brides, creating harmony between different fabrics, thus designing the dress for the happiest day of their lives.
