Her show-stopping creations have graced the windows of luxury fashion houses, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Guerlain, numerous campaigns, and the pages of high-end publications, including Vogue, Le Monde and Vanity Fair. After graduating from Paris?s École Duperré, Mathilde began working and creating with her passion – paper. Her unique style and skill rewarded her with early success. ?I started playing with paper 15 years ago while I was doing my textile degree. I chose to work with old letter envelopes and everything started from there.?
