Designer Profile (4) - FrenchSet

This time, we would like you to meet another participant from France - FrenchSet.

FrenchSet is a concept store around an internet community for those who like luxury (who doesn’t?:), but in a provocative and intelligent manner.

The motto for the designer is ‘prix-à-porter’, represented by the fact that these are the buyers who determine the price of a purchase. It is a matter of choice whether the price will be next put on a T-shirt or not, however what its founder is willing to provoke is the act of… irrational and superficial consumption!

This original idea was driven from the observation that there are no more ‘Yes-Yes’ consumers nowadays, so contrary to the latest trends (e.g. substantial development, fair trade, diversity etc.) in response to this changing attitude the Frenchset brand propose humor, irony and jeer.

Believe or not, but this works!

Designer Profile (1) - GOACHIC

December 2004, the tsunami hits the shores of India. The country is paralysed. While travelling, Chris Balzac finds himself stuck in a remote fishermen village of north Goa. Writer, musician and photographer, he had wanted for quite some to experiment in a new field of creation : exotic vehicles. Once he overcame the shock of the tsunami, and still on stand by in this little village, he had a vision : to decorate a Royal Enfield Motorcycle with hand painted miniatures using the ancestral technique of gold coating, and to perfect the piece of art, to make a helmet decorated with Hindu Gods.

Back in Paris, Chris was constantly approached by people wanting to buy his helmet and wondering where one could get such a masterpiece. He put aside his unique sample and decides to fully develop this art concept at a better time.

Influenced by the vision of Andy Warhol, this repeated artwork production is the logical result of his perception of art, artists and handicraft. After 10 years of travel to India, discovering the sub continent with his Royal Enfield motorcycle, Chris learned to know, to appreciate, and to work with Indian craftsmen. Project after project he created a solid network of craftsmen working with him…

In January 2008, he decides to start the production of new prototypes in India. The success is instantaneous: the helmets are exhibited to few boutiques in the Marais in Paris, where they are eagerly awaited to be displayed in the showcases.

At the age of 23 years, Alexandre, has also discovered the roads of India on his Enfield motorcycle. He is currently completing HEC entrepreneur Master in Paris. From 2005-2006, he spent his time studying in New Delhi. There, he became the youngest French Businessman in India, launching his company Vintage Rides, which is the unique French agency specialized in motorcycle trips in India, offering journeys on Royal Enfield, framed by great stops in charming hotels. In 2008, already more than 200 passionate motorcycle riders joined.

It was clear that the encounter of those two people with a passion for India, motorcycles and aesthetics, would lead them to melt their talent as well as their experience to create in 2008 the GOACHIC brand, and launch the Dream Helmets onto the market.

You will have a chance to meet these inspiring entrepreneurs during our fashion show in Le Globo on the 4th Dec. More information you will find under this address:
