Aurélie Lanoiselée

Embroiderer

The textile interpreter

  • Aurélie has developed her own artistic expression
  • She participates regularly in solo and group exhibitions
  • She has collaborated with renowned Haute Couture designers

“A textile interpreter in search of emotions and sensations to translate” is how Aurélie Lanoiselée would define herself. At the frontier between textiles and art, the French designer pushes the limits of embroidery, aiming to create new materials. Aurélie started studying fashion design, before specialising with a Textile Métiers d’Arts diploma focused on embroidery. Very soon, her rigour and creativity led her to important collaborations with Haute Couture Maisons, notably with Carven and Christian Lacroix. Aurélie draws on the diversity of her expertise to propose textile solutions adapted to each project; from fashion to cinema, from art pieces to interior decoration. Her creations reveal a unique interaction between unexpected materials.

What are your specific skills in embroidery?
Needle embroidery and lunéville crochet, but also plant dyes, creation of both surfaces and volumes. The specificity of the workshop is to respond to all requests, projects and collaborations.
How do you express tradition and innovation in your creations?
Tradition will always be expressed through the respecting quality and technique. Innovation is inherent in each project: the use of unusual and new materials allows me to transcend technical limits.
How is your craft linked to your homeland?
Embroidery is a vernacular technique and is rooted in our common history, its expression has no borders and the means of communication and transport today allow us to work without territorial limits.
What is a memorable moment in your professional life?
There are two moments. Discovering the exhilaration of working simultaneously for Carven, Christian Lacroix and Givenchy. And recieving Bettencourt Schueller Foundation's prize for l'Intelligence de La Main, a true recognition.
Aurélie Lanoiselée is a master artisan: she began her career in 2000 and she started teaching in 2002
