THE AESTHETIC

Based in Paris, VAILLANT is a Luxury Women's ready-to-wear brand founded by Alice Vaillant.

Ballet and movement are at the core of Alice Vaillant’s vision. Ten years at the Paris Opera Ballet shaped a design language where discipline meets deconstruction, breaking classical codes to create bold, modern silhouettes.

French heritage and artisanat anchor the brand, while a contemporary and sometimes futuristic lens projects it forward.

Vaillant’s signature lies in contrasts: layered materials, sharp cuts, lacework, and outerwear as emblematic pieces.

Feminine empowerment remains central—reinterpreting codes to celebrate strength, sensuality, and individuality.

Influenced by post-modern architecture, Alice evolves toward abstraction and geometry, echoing the venues of her shows and campaigns.


Vaillant is a transformative wardrobe, a dialogue between past and future, structure and movement.

THE DESIGNER

Born in Paris, Alice Vaillant grew up in an artistic environment, learning to sew in her grandmother’s costume atelier. Trained for over ten years at the Paris Opera Ballet School, she also took part in the ateliers of the Paris Opera Garnier—an experience that deeply inspired her creative vision and continues to shape her approach to design.

After leaving dance, she studied Fashion Design in Montreal before completing a Master’s in Womenswear in Paris. She went on to work at Jean-Paul Gaultier Couture and Nina Ricci under Rushemy Botter before founding her own label, VAILLANT, in 2020.

Collaborations with SSENSE (2022) and Peter and May (2025) reinforced her distinct voice in contemporary fashion.

Her work has been recognized with the Ville de Paris Prize and as a two-time finalist of the prestigious Andam Pierre Bergé Prize (2023, 2024).
