PATRICK STEPHAN learnt his craft with masters as diverse and legendary as corset maeker Mister PEARL, and the pret-a-porter collections of both THIERRY MIGLER and JOHN GALLIANO. He then went on to hone his art at DIOR COUTURE from 1998. After seeing an exibition of Japanese craft and visiting the country, he fell in love with Japan and moved here to create his dreams of a brand which could explore the aesthetic possibilities of a fusion of both East and West, and Feminine and Masculine.
