FOCUS ON: CAMILLE PFISTER - FROM PARIS TO MILAN, DISCOVERING ITALIAN FASHION

08/20/2012

Good lessons learned when a small child are never forgotten. Camille Pfister, for example, one of the winners of the last edition of Next Generation, learned to draw, when small, from an exceptional teacher, the painter Bènèdicte Charpentier.

So, once grown, she chose to study art in Paris at the 'Atelier de Sèvres, an experience so challenging to require further in-depth, from there the choice to attend Crèapole, a school of design and applied arts in Paris, where Camille discovered the art of fashion designer.

After another three years of study, it is time for a practical experience, so Camille becomes assistant modeler at Veronique Leroy, a brand of women's fashion, and then she becomes cool hunter for an agency of trend search. Despite all, Camille does not consider her training finished, so after having acquired a complete vision on French fashion she chooses to move to Italy, so to broaden her knowledge and work experiences, and is currently in Milano attending the Borga Fashion Institute.

As winner of the Next Generation, the competition organized by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, Camille had the opportunity to show her collection during the latest edition of Milano Moda Donna that took place last February, in the splendid setting of the Castle Sforzesco and in the presence of Italian and international press and buyers. A small collection of twelve outfits in which for the autumn / winter 2012-13 she proposes a woman who loves to play with contrasts, overlaps: the jersey on a skirt wrapped in a transparent and wider veil, the belt which tightens the waist (high) and bouffant sleeves, the red worn with the pink.
