Zadig & Voltaire, a glamorous wardrobe with a rock'n'roll twist.
Bring a rebellious touch to the strictly coded world of luxury? That audacious challenge was the key focus for the brand Zadig & Voltaire. Ever since it was founded in 1997, the French label has considered itself to be unshackled by convention and that goes some way to explaining the brand’s success. Behind this success story is one Thierry Gillier, who happens to be the great-nephew of one of the founders of Lacoste. Fashion definitely runs deep through the family’s DNA. Zadig & Voltaire brings a real breath of fresh air to high-end ready-to-wear. The label’s style is unashamedly nonchalant with a healthy dose of rock’n’roll.
An androgynous twist to the collections.
In 2006, the arrival of Cécilia Bonstrom as creative director was a turning point in the brand’s story. The women's clothing designed by Zadig & Voltaire now has a stronger identity. The androgynous style was born and became the label’s hallmark. There is a powerful set of codes attached to the brand - skulls on sweaters, studs on bags and leather in all shapes and sizes. The quirky Zadig & Voltaire style plays on looks which are laid-back yet impossibly elegant. Daywear mixes with evening wear, thus creating the unique world inhabited by the label.
