THE FOUNDER SOPHIE MECHALY
Born in Paris, Sophie was immersed in the world of textiles from a very young age. Raised in a family where hard work was a core value, Sophie quickly dropped out of her management studies to work for couturier Azzedine Alaïa at the age of 19.
She then joined her parents' company, "Le Garage," known for its printed shirts, which were iconic in the 1980s.
In 1995, the young designer decided to strike out on her own and launched her brand, naming it after her two young sons, Paul and Joe.
