Meet Leslie.

Stylist

Brussels

Sewing is a family affair for Leslie! Her grandmother made clothes for all her children and her mother spent her evenings in front of her sewing machine, creating her clothes and her own.

At a very young age, she had fun assembling pieces of fabric together and creating clothes for her dolls. However, her parents refused to allow her to make her passion her profession, and so, she turned to scientific studies. She became a dietician but did not find fulfilment in this, a profession that failed to enthuse her. 

She then decided to leave everything behind and return to her childhood love: sewing and fashion design! 

She started by taking evening classes at the Beaux-art in Nantes and then set off for Paris to study fashion and textile design at LISAA.

Since then, she has moved from Paris to Normandy and from England to Brussels, where she finally settled! 

She has created several brands, and tested various projects, but it is in the one she launched in Brussels that she most recognizes herself. All the pieces within Leslie's brand are made entirely by her, from the choice of the fabric to the creation of the pattern. The number of models is limited: unique pieces or small series. The materials are of excellent quality and come mainly from the end of production of major brands.

She warmly welcomes you into her cosy workshop, complete with her little cat, which spends its day lounging around there. She looks forward to sharing her passion with you and, in particular, to introducing you to sewing - creating clothing that you will be proud to wear!
