About
Expert in blending bold prints and vibrant colors, honed at Saint Martins. Former design director at La DoubleJ and BALLY, with tenures at Moncler and Balenciaga.
Paris-born Jeanne Labib-Lamour's fashion journey began remarkably early—stepping into haute couture at just 10 and landing internships at Chanel and Saint Laurent by 16. Growing up immersed in "art, film, fashion, books, and all the cultural life Paris could offer," her creative foundations were laid early. Central Saint Martins later transformed her raw talent into refined vision during three formative years that she credits with "shaping my personality, taste, and creativity." Rather than rushing into the industry post-graduation like her peers, Labib-Lamour took six months to explore South America—a deliberate pause that would later influence her distinctive approach.
Her impressive career path reads like a fashion industry must-have list: print designer at Balenciaga, senior designer at Moncler, chief ready-to-wear designer at BALLY, and design director at La DoubleJ. Bold prints, precise craftsmanship, and vibrant colors define her work, but what sets her apart isn't just technical skill—it's her instinctive creative process. Unlike designers who methodically mine classics for innovation, Labib-Lamour finds magic in fleeting moments. "I always start with color, pattern, and theme," she explains. "Anything can be a source of inspiration: a detail in a film, a photo in a magazine, a person on the Milan tram, a character in a book."
Her collaboration with Fabrique emerges from this intuitive approach, creating what she calls an everyday "couture capsule" that marries Italian joy with French femininity. After extensive brainstorming, the partnership focused on craftsmanship, 3D materials, and lace—elements central to her design DNA. "Before imagining garments, I always see texture and technique first," she reveals. "This collection emphasizes lace, textured fabrics, and embroidery—craftsmanship is at the core, as are feminine silhouettes and details." The result is both accessible and exceptional—clothing that feels special while remaining firmly grounded in everyday wearability.
