Jérôme Dreyfuss developed a passion for fashion design at an early age. After studying fashion in Paris, he joined John Galliano's team and went on to create his first women's ready-to-wear collection at just 23. In 2002, the designer moved into leather goods with a collection of accessories entitled "Roots de Luxe". The success was immediate: the bags became best-sellers in France and abroad! While Jérôme Dreyfuss has a passion for fashion, he also has a passion for design, particularly 20th century pieces. So we went to meet him to find out what he likes so much about vintage design furniture. How would you define the style of your home? How would you describe the style of your home? I'd probably say "inspiring"! I particularly like the work of Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Carlo Mollino, Isamu Nogushi, George Nelson and many others. What are the latest design pieces you've bought? What are the latest design pieces you've bought? I recently bought a pair of Elipson plaster ball speakers on a wooden stand.

What's the last place you were and whose decoration amazed you? The Montesol hotel in Ibiza really impressed me! How did you hear about Design Market? How did you hear about Design Market? I found out about Design Market by word of mouth. What links do you make between fashion and interior design? Do your decorating tastes have anything in common with your designs? What links do you make between fashion and interior design? Do your tastes in decoration have anything in common with your creations? The link is certainly the creative process, the desire to create something beautiful, something well done, something that makes sense. There's a strong link between my fashion and interior design tastes: a desire for beautiful materials, craftsmanship and practicality. What role do design and decoration play in the layout of your shops? And your workshops? What role do design and decoration play in the layout of your shops? And your workshops? Design plays a very important role in my shops. It's about being able to create a place that reflects me and my world. 1 - Rest bed "No. 700" Knoll International, Richard STEIN - 1950 Rest bed "No. 700" Knoll International, Richard STEIN - 1950 | 2 - Suite de 4 appliques "NOS" Raak en métal laqué blanc - 1960 Suite de 4 appliques "NOS" Raak en métal laqué blanc - 1960 | 3 - Table basse "CM 191" Thonet, Pierre PAULIN - 1959 Table basse "CM 191" Thonet, Pierre PAULIN - 1959 | 4 - Swedish rocking chair in pine and sheepskin - 1940 Swedish rocking chair in pine and sheepskin - 1940 Many thanks to Jérôme for giving us his time for this interview! www.jerome-dreyfuss.com www.jerome-dreyfuss.com
