VAILLANT

Based in Paris, VAILLANT is a French Luxury women's ready-to-wear Brand founded by the creative director Alice Vaillant. The brand offers a hybrid and empowered wardrobe, and strives to embody a strong, sensual and disruptive vision of femininity. Being part of the Paris Opera Ballet for ten years, classical dance has shaped a large part of Alice VAILLANT ’s aesthetic sense that revolves around performance and movement. Her designs are immersed in this language, but also simultaneously break free from these classic ballet codes. The collections are focused on rigidity, on one hand, but at the same time deconstruct this rigidity on the other. They explore movement and contemporary form for a fundamental play with opposites: the feminine and the masculine, motion and constraint, openness and rigor, free-flow and direction. Alice works with the layering of materials, mixing technical pieces and free flowing styles. She displays geometrical and architectural silhouettes that are contrasted with fluid fabrics and materials. She works with contrast in either color, shape, or cut. Alice’s creations are easily recognizable by her use of lace, which is an integral part of the brand’s DNA and also serves as a strong and essential visual code for VAILLANT. VAILLANT has been finalist of ANDAM fashion Awards- Pierre Berge Price in 2023 and 2024. The brand has been worn by many celebrities including Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Rita Ora, Deva Cassel, Lena Situations, Angele, Aya Nakamura...VAILLANT's commercial agent is SHOWROOM THIRTEENTWELVE. VAILLANT is now sold on Revolve, Ssense, Printemps Paris, H.Lorenzo (Los Angeles), Exhibit (Thailand), A Favor (Sydney) and will be 24S in september 2024. The fifth Fashion Show of VAILLANT will take place in Paris Fashion Week on september 2024.
