Madame Avant Moi is a tribute to my grandmothers and to everything I carry from them. As women, we don’t come alone, we come with memory, stories, strength, and silent inheritances passed through generations. From them I inherited resilience, courage and the ability to keep believing, even when life was not easy. But I also inherited fears, limitations and beliefs that were never truly mine. Today, through this collection, I choose to honour where I come from while rewriting my own story.
