L’histoire d’Amicalement Soi

Parisian and Mayenne native, Angélique sought to dust off the classic silk square to make it an everyday accessory.

"Amicalement Soi" is cinema, color, music, family, elegance, sensuality, extravagance, travel, history, friends, aesthetics and ethics.

Angélique grew up with a desire for permanent creation, drawing inspiration from her readings, cinema, music, architecture, sculpture and any artistic activity. Angélique loves to discover and share. From the age of seven, she uses her hands to create the family world. Then comes embroidery and very quickly learning to sew with the family machine.

As a teenager, she naturally went to a high school that applied to her to continue her apprenticeship at the Chambre syndicale de la couture parisienne and then at the Atelier Chardon Savard. Her desire to create has continued to grow. Thirsty for learning, Angélique discovered the work of an artisan at the tailor Cifonelli in Paris during her studies after her classes, learning, observing this unique know-how of tailoring.

“It is drawing inspiration from the past that allows us to go even further into the future.”

After theory comes practice. Angélique will be assistant stylist for the fashion houses Rabih Kayrouz, Christian Wijnants and Coralie Marabelle. She then had the chance to perfect her knowledge as a graphic designer and colorist in an exceptional industry for the printing workshop "Les tissus d'Avesnières" and the Usine Ratti in Como.
