Background

Former chief knitwear designer for Kering and LVMH. Her intricate lace designs and crystal-embellished pieces graced Saint Laurent runways under Hedi Slimane, redefining luxury knitwear beyond seasonal constraints.

Marie Colangeli transforms ordinary yarn into extraordinary fashion with a technical mastery that's captivated luxury houses for over a decade. The Paris-based designer has built her reputation through pivotal roles at fashion's most prestigious groups—serving as chief knitwear designer for brands under both Kering and LVMH. Her impressive career path winds through Sonia Rykiel, Sandro, and Hedi Slimane's rock-infused Saint Laurent. What's remarkable is her chameleon-like ability to adapt across these diverse brand identities while maintaining her distinctive technical signature.

On runways, Colangeli's pieces command instant recognition. Her complex openwork knitted lace seems to float; her crystal-embellished knit gowns merge technical precision with red-carpet drama; her lightweight knitted capes redefine silhouettes with architectural ease. This isn't your standard knitwear. She deliberately challenges the notion that knits belong only in heavy winter collections by working with premium natural fibers—silk, ultra-fine mohair, and wool—to create pieces with year-round appeal. Her meticulous craftsmanship draws inspiration across cultural boundaries, resulting in garments that infuse feminine sensitivity into every thread, creating pieces that move and breathe like second skin.

Her latest collaboration with Fabrique, aptly named "The Gravity of Love," reveals Colangeli's romantic yet grounded perspective. "Love draws us together, like flowers blooming—soft yet powerful," she explains of the collection's inspiration. The pieces showcase flowing, gentle color palettes that evoke warmth, while her signature delicate lace knitting techniques add quiet romantic notes. The airy fabrics outline feminine elegance without sacrificing strength—a balance that defines Colangeli's work. Each strand embodies connection, self-appreciation, and unconditional love, technical elements that showcase why her influence in knitwear design continues to grow with each collection she creates.
