Laurence Le Constant

Born in 1976 on Reunion Island. She lives and works between Paris and La Reunion (French island in Indian ocean).

After obtaining a degree in fashion design, she began art studies specialized in textile design and then developed skills as an embroiderer, weaver and feather-worker.

The ancestral gestures were patiently passed on to her in the workshop. She later chose a course combining visual arts at the Sorbonne with classes at the School of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, which sealed her desire to master the creation of the most sophisticated materials, together with the fundamental questions of visual art.
​
From 2000, she gained experience in prestigious haute couture workshops as  Chanel, Dior, Emmanuel Ungaro, Prada, etc. In 2010 she decided to devote herself entirely to her own work and finally allowed herself to show a body of work that was just waiting to be seen.
​
She has participated in several group exhibitions in Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, Dallas and San Francisco. The work MICHELINE (from the series MY LOVELY BONES) joined the permanent collection of the Dallas Museum of Art in 2012. 
​
A noteworthy selection of her Vanitas (from the MY LOVELY BONES series) was shown at the Art Paris Art Fair ...
