Born in Vietnam and grown up in France, I have always been drawn to Art.
Curious, inventive and perfectionist, I found a mean of expression through design.
After graduating from the Arts and Techniques of Fashion in Lyon, I have created my brand Melanie Dutour. I design according to my mood and inspiration, regardless of current standards and the frantic pace of collections. I wish to make Melanie Dutour a place dedicated to refinement, simplicity and beauty.
Each of my works is entirely handmade in my workshop based in France. More than a hundred hours were sometimes necessary to create a single piece. Time fades away to give free rein to my imagination.
Melanie Dutour begins with the Serie 1 of Year 1.
May it seduces you as much as I took pleasure in making it.
