Charles de Vilmorin was born in France into a family passionate about art, dressmaking and design. What started as designing dresses for his Barbies became a passion that eventually saw him graduate from the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture de Paris in 2019. Shortly after making his debut and becoming one of the most promising emerging talents, Rochas announced that De Vilmorin would become its new creative director, and he worked with the brand until spring 2023, leaving his mark on the legacy of the iconic brand.
