After a career creating clothes that let people tell their fashion stories, Roland Mouret is now ready to tell his own. Join the French fashion designer and artist as he discusses his autobiography, ‘_I Am Roland Mouret’,_ an intimate account of his life and career. From the family boucherie in the rural Pyrenees in the 1960s, Mouret found his way to design through modelling, styling and fashion school against the edgy and glamorous backdrop of 1980s and 1990s Paris and London. The moment he draped fabric over a mannequin, he knew he had found his true passion and went on to dress film stars and royalty with his own, iconic atelier. Mouret is famous for creating the iconic Galaxy dress in 2006. This body-sculpting, zip-backed dress became an instant global phenomenon and a red-carpet staple worn by countless celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman and many more A-Listers. He also became Victoria Beckham’s mentor when she launched her fashion career. Mouret will be in conversation with British writer, model, and presenter Jack Guinness. Guinness is the founder and director of The Queer Bible and began his career as a model, starring in global campaigns for brands such as L’Oreal, Dunhill and Dolce & Gabbana.
