| When Tradition Meets Modernity | French designer based in Yangon, Myanmar.
From the delicate black tutu she made as a 12-year-old in Paris to the dramatic floor-length creations she constructs today in her atelier in Yangon, Charlotte Barjou has always bought the magic of the theatre to her designs. For Charlotte, a dress is not just a series of stitches, it is a story woven into fabric – a story that can be retold every time the piece is worn.
Her childhood was spent at the sewing table of her neighbour – a costumier at the world-famous Opéra National de Paris – where Charlotte learnt everything there is to know about dress-making: from delicate stitching to modélisme, the intricate art of draping fabric. From then on, every moment of her spare time was spent creating new designs for her friends and family.
As demand for Charlotte’s designs grew, she opened her own weekly pop-up online shop, La Création du Jeudi (Thursday’s Creations), where she launched one new design every Thursday. But by then, Charlotte knew that she needed to find a place in the world where she could spread her wings, somewhere she could turn her design dream into a reality. So in 2014, she packed her bags in Paris and headed to Myanmar, a country only then just opening up to new opportunities.
Charlotte’s return ticket to Paris was booked for four months later, but after 48 hours in Yangon, she decided to stay, and it was here that her new brand, Charlotte Barjou Design, was born.
