Hot for Hotot

I don't have a whole host of information about Anne-Sophie Hotot with nothing but a Facebook page and a Japanese interview to her name on Google.  The one bit of telling information I do have is that she is currently working for Richard Nicoll and has launched her debut collection for A/W 09 collection.  I was intrigued by her work when I saw it at the Blow press day because it is a minimal and refined addition to Blow's otherwise eclectic and colourful client portfolio.  An LCF-grad, originally from the North of France she has applied contrasts of harsh and soft and light and heavy to her collection.  Despite the cleanliness of lines, upclose there's still a fair amount of detailing to be found, and the choice of fabrics make the pieces wonderfully tactile.  There are traces of Hotot's work experience with Nicoll but only ever so slightly, with something even more strict and refined about her work.

  1. you know what i can’t get my head around, is how many designers there are out in the world. i mean is this a new phenomena. are these micro-lines? or is the internet and people like you just finally making all this more obvious?! i love it.

  2. I never ever tire of your puns and references in blog titles. I love them.
    I love the lines in these pieces, espesh the last dress.

  3. Just thought I would also say that your site is looking better each day. Its getting tons of advertising and I bet you are getting loads of hits

  4. I like the paneled-on-paneled dress/shoes combo in the first picture. It does tone-on-tone one better. Or maybe several better.

  5. this is more like it. More of new designers with ingenious designs and who are willing to push the boundaries. Liking her work alot, will have to check it out. If I can find anything 😀
    Thanks for sharing Susie
