Founded by designer Christelle Kocher in Paris in 2014, Koché bonds urban casual with _Haute Couture_ subversion and craftsmanship. An innovative designer to watch, of her label’s first runway show—Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear—_Vogue_ wrote: “It’s too early to tell whether Kocher is trying to degrade flashy or elevate trashy. Likely both.”
**What type of beauty are you most drawn to?**
Not one type, I’m sensitive to every expression of beauty, in fashion, in art, and in life
**How does your aesthetic reflect your personality?**
It’s all linked but I would say there’s something bold with strong character in both.
**Where’s your favorite place to be inspired?**
Naoshima, a small island in Japan. It’s full of sublime museums and art pieces in the middle of wild nature.
**Favorite thing from L.A.?**
I love a 1000 things in L.A. but let’s say: sunset, watching the ocean with the city behind you, feeling those two giants and being in the middle.
