Her latest collection, aptly named "Asea," embodies the principles of action (A), expression (E), and sense (S), reflecting her dynamic and thoughtful design philosophy.

Her work extended the versatility of simple pieces, making them eye-catching and keeps people wondering. Asea’s tenure at Maison Kitsuné from 2013 to 2019 as the creative director and artistic director further showcased her talent. She introduced captivating designs, like tropical palm prints and sleek straight-cut dresses, while also meticulously shaping the brand’s image through styling and creative direction.

Her exploration of diverse styles and sustainable fashion practices highlights her versatility and forward-thinking approach. Beyond fashion, she leads the band Exotica, contributing as a composer, arranger, and lead singer, leaving a significant mark in the French pop music scene. Asea's latest collaboration with Fabrique reflects her dynamic vision and playful design approach, promising a collection that is as thoughtful as it is stylish.
