As a French designer and graphic artist, Coco’s background gives her a unique insight into fashion and art. After spending five years studying fine arts in Paris, she worked as a communication consultant for a number of leading fashion designers. In 2004, she moved to London to set up a creative and technology consultancy company, getConfused.
She now also creates imagery for major retail brands and publications spanning both the independent and mainstream press, including Vogue, ELLE, Nylon and Muse.
As the creative mind behind “Forget me Not”, Coco has, since 2009, been designing a collection of digitally printed silk scarves based on her own personal patterns, illustrations and compositions. She has also started working on additional fashion and lifestyle accessories such as turban head pieces and Home Wear. These objects typically feature Coco’s unique visual universe in dream-like scenarios and bold graphic compositions. Her collections are available around the world from selected fashion and luxury stores including Barney’s, Colette, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Tomorrowland and more.
Coco finds inspiration in a wide variety of places. Living between Paris and London she feels at ease with the visual landscapes of both cities – as art and fashion capitals, they are a byword for innovation, creativity and metropolitan edge. She tends to start her work by experimenting with traditional processes such as painting, drawing and ceramics, before designing the final image digitally. She likes to mix several techniques but aims for restraint and minimalism in the finished work as she likes the results achieved from combining these two approaches.
She has also worked on a series of collaborations and her work has been published in numerous publications including Taschen, Gestalten,Victionary and several exhibitions in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Barcelona.
