MOTIVATIONS
Gabriel and I grew up and spent part of our schooling in Marseille (Lycée Thiers). We're childhood friends. Gabriel went on to study at the Arts-Décoratifs in Paris, and I went to the Sorbonne. Our heart and influence come from Marseille. The first emotions of fashion at the Maison de la Mode exhibitions on the Canebière, a very young greeting to Mr. Paco Rabanne, accompanied by my mother. Ever since I heard about this competition, I've dreamed of being able to come to our hometown and present our work, and in a way return to our roots.

MMM VALUES (CRAFT TECH CARE & GIVE BACK):
- Tata Christiane plays with the boundaries of elegance, digging up our old memories, recycling the detritus of our civilization.
- Julie Bourgeois and Gabriel Santini, originally from Marseille, design their own prints and handmade garments. We champion individuality, freedom, humor, fun and fantasy, adopting a slow, ethical approach to the way we dress and the way we are in the world.
- The brand develops two collections a year and produces collectors' items and one-off pieces all year round. This is achieved using artisanal and regional production practices, focusing on a variety of different fabrics and techniques, with particular attention paid to eco-friendly materials, recycled textiles, small quantities, vintage fabrics and original finds in forgotten cities.
