WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND THE BRAND? HOW DID IT COME ABOUT?
Sombre Mirage is a women's fashion brand specializing in evening wear, distinguished by its artistic and sensitive approach, favoring quality fabrics and short circuits to stay close to its sophisticated and avant-garde clientele.
Founded by a fashion enthusiast in his high school years, Sombre Mirage was born of his desire to create a brand that reflected his vision of fashion. By exploring different styles of clothing, he developed a non-conformist, open-minded, transcendental and romantic approach, which is reflected today in the brand's values.
After studying fashion design and launching his first collection "Mirageworldofillumination", the designer was faced with the challenge of organization. However, his passion remained intact and total control from ideation to design motivated him to continue.
Sombre Mirage is currently working with artists from the music scene on production projects and performance appearances, enabling it to lend its DNA to other creative worlds while enriching its own.
WHAT PRODUCTS ARE ON OFFER? HOW TO DESCRIBE THE DESIGN TOUCH?
As creator of Sombre Mirage, my vision is to create clothes that transcend mere functionality, that express the deepest, most intimate emotions. I aim to create a brand that connects with customers emotionally and encourages them to feel strong, confident and romantic.
I propose clothes with character, reserved for occasional moments and festivities. They emphasize craftsmanship, quality and comfort.
I use mainly natural fibers such as silk, linen and cotton to create delicate, structured fabrics that are embroidered with intricate, structured patterns. I use finishing techniques such as dyeing and hand-made stencils to add a unique touch to each piece.
