Conversation 082: Christelle Kocher
Monday, 2 June, 2025
Behind the glamour of couture week, away from the spotlight of the runway shows, lies the quiet brilliance of the artisans. These skilled craftsmen pour their expertise and passion into every stitch, bead, feather, and flower that adorns each runway creation. Few understand the importance and artistry of this better than Christelle Kocher. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in London, Kocher spent over a decade in the luxury fashion industry, working with renowned brands such as Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Sonia Rykiel, Martine Sitbon, and Emporio Armani. In 2010, she took on the role of Artistic Director at Lemarié, and joined the Fashion Métiers d'art in 1996, where she worked closely with artisans to craft some of the most intricate couture textiles. This experience proved transformative, honing her understanding of both the technical and creative sides of luxury fashion.In this conversation, Kocher reflects on the beauty and importance of handmade traditions, staying inspired, sustainability and its impact on the industry and the future legacy of Lemarié.
