BEHIND CINABRE
I'm Alexandre. I launched Cinabre at the age of 30 with the guiding vision of Haute Couture designer Michel Goma and the steady hand of Catherine, the manager of our French atelier. I'm French and Swedish. I love 70s disco, Detroit techno, vintage Science Fiction, Parisian sleepless nights, the panache of a uniform, and fashion that doesn't take itself too seriously.
