Stéphane Rolland

My eyes were trained early on with these concepts and everything I do is about contrast, volume and movement.

[1] At the age of 20 Rolland joined Balenciaga and within a year was promoted to the position of Creative Director of menswear and international licenses.

At 24, he left Balenciaga to start his own prêt-à-porter company, which he ran for six years, until he was asked to become artistic designer for the haute couture fashion house formerly owned by Jean-Louis Scherrer, a position he occupied for the next ten years.

In 2006 and 2007, he was nominated for the prestigious Molière awards and became an official partner of the Cannes Film Festival.

In May 2013, Rolland opened his first boutique in the Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi.
