Paul-Hervé Elisabeth

This self-taught designer, born on the island of Martinique in the Caribbean, left his hometown to move to Paris and begin his extraordinry journey.

He is a tireless and eager traveller. His quest is one of union and fusion, which saw him leave Fort-de-France for other capitals : Paris, New Orleans, New York, London... and finally towards Africa where he often comes to work on his collections.

Tradition within evolution is something that began to form in his imagination. This gave form to surprising creations, where both traditional and modern shapes co-exist harmoniously.

Creations inspired by the creole sentiment and the wealth of its human heritage; creations which touch upon the symbolism of the voodoo religion as seen in the immaculate gowns of cult priestesses, with scarves and wraps which are artistically draped. These creations adorn the contemporary woman in all of her cultural diversity.

Paul-Hervé Elisabeth offers his unique version of creole. Bold creations which move and beguile.

Today, he is expanding in the Caribbean market and his talents are being sought after in other areas such as cultural and tourist projects. The Caribbean remains the territory where he can express himself, the laboratory where he can mix all of the experiences he has accumulated.
