Sustainable fashion
Make new from old
Classes also explore upcycling: learning to give old garments and accessories a second life by redesigning them into new pieces with a story of their own. A creative, responsible way to design.
Also for brands
Vero Marganne designs for brands too: fashion and scarf collections, packaging, labels, logos and visual identity, and illustrations for events and products, with production organized when needed.
