May we introduce you to: Stephane Rolland

This talented designer was brought up in the South of France, Argentina and the West Indies...but it wasn't until he landed in Paris that he found his fashion home and began his studies at the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.
It's of no surprise to us that Stephane Rolland quickly became the king of Haute Couture...since as you all know, we think Paris is a a truly inspiring place. He went on to work as the creative director of the menswear and international license branch of Balenciaga at the young age of 21.
By the age of 24, Stephane Rolland had launched his own pret-a-porter (ready to wear) line for Jean-Louis Scherrer where he carried the title of artistic manager. This resume is one of the most impressive we've seen…to be so young and to make such a name in the ultra competitive world of fashion is no easy feat. Mr. Rolland is an artist in every sense of the word and his talent for art branched into the film world with his costume designs...he since has become an official partner of the Cannes Film Festival.

We definitely feel that his work falls into the category of “art masterpiece” and these creative women seem to agree. Check out some of his stunning creations below:

After reading all this, we hope that you now understand why we brought up his name and design works. He is a master of geometric lines that move...trust us, it is much more difficult than it sounds. He is bold and adventurous. He loves to play with colors and he’s not afraid to form material into something that leaves most people in awe…but we must admit that our favorite thing about him is his perspective of a woman's body...it's a completely original and sexy. Take a moment and let yourself be carried away with these pictures of his latest collection…look at his colors, his lines, the geometric lines embraced by soft curves…it’s just breathtaking.

We know that a sophisticated and talented creator such as Stephane Rolland would appeal to only the most fashionable and fabulous of people…which is why we know that you will all love him as much as we do. He is a showstopper, innovator and groundbreaker…and we can’t wait to see his next pieces of art walk down the runway…we have a feeling that the best word to describe them will be: amazing!
