Background

Former CELINE leather colorist who launched an independent print studio collaborating with JACQUEMUS, LEMAIRE, and Khaite. Her abstract prints stunned Paris Fashion Week, while her birds and vines for Khaite became urban poetry.

Paris-born Maeva Elfassi blurs the line blur between fashion and fine art. After graduating from ENSAD in 2014 with a textile design degree, she began her career as a leather colorist at CELINE, where she turned leather into living color palettes that breathed contemporary art into classic bags. In 2019, she launched her independent print studio, creating wearable art that captures the essence of her paintings. Her technique transforms cobalt blue and ochre color blocks from canvas to fabric through silk-screen printing and digital jacquard technology, giving silk and wool materials entirely new life forms.

Her collaboration with Lemaire produced abstract gradient print shirt dresses that became the talk of Paris Fashion Week. For Khaite, she created birds and vine florals that serve as urban allegories of freedom and poetry, while at JACQUEMUS, she reimagined paisley patterns using raw ink strokes that captured the South of France's spirit. For Maeva, each print is a true continuation of her artwork – the resistance felt when a brush absorbs paint, the rhythm of oil spreading across linen – all permanently preserved as patterns that never fade from the fabric.

In this collaboration, Maeva initiated a cross-temporal artistic dialogue through flowers. British photographer Chris Rhodes' images of blooms crawling up corner walls gave her a poetic perspective for capturing everyday fragments. Her private collection of avant-garde paintings, combining Mondrian's geometric compositions with Matisse's Fauvist color schemes, taught her to outline floral skeletons using the most restrained lines. During her design process, she extended Baroque scrollwork through digital printing, with flourishing tendrils embracing Provençal tulips spontaneously collected from the Luberon Valley, all captured on pure cotton skirts. When digital printers recreate oil painting textures on translucent crepe, the flowing lines resemble Mediterranean breezes, each fold telling the story of sunlight filtering through olive leaves, creating dancing spots of light on the ground.
