Sylvie Facon, the innovative French fashion designer, has been captivating the fascination of fashion enthusiasts since 2005 with her exceptional creations. Beyond mere garments, her dresses are intricate textile compositions that bring to life various themes, textures, and colors.
Inspiration for Facon’s artistic endeavors is drawn from a myriad of sources, spanning the beauty of nature to the rich heritage of her city. Notably, she finds inspiration in everyday objects that age gracefully, such as books. Among Facon’s remarkable creations are her renowned book dresses. These dresses, embellished with carefully chosen book covers and pages, transform into wearable pieces of art, each narrating a unique literary story.
In a previous interview with DeMilked, Sylvie shared, “When I have an idea in mind, I make a sketch and I work each step until the last point. Each dress represents approximately 250 hours of work, and there is a lot of work underneath as well: each dress is a construction and each step has a great importance for the final.”
