Why we love it
Why we love it
We at 1.618 were very touched by the vision of the designer, Maria Abdala-Zolezzi, and her passion for the preservation of wildlife (in particular the guanaco - still wild South American camelids) and the promotion of Argentine raw materials and know-how. In the midst of all the fashion brands flooding the market, each Maydi creation is unique and the result of a close collaboration with the artisans, reflecting a tradition to be preserved and a precious and attentive manufacturing process. It is this delicate attention to detail that allows them to create lasting and high quality pieces that we love.

Each piece remains unique thanks to an organic work, guided by clay and light. The ceramics are raw, their colors sometimes unexpected, offering an exceptional character to each of them.

Valentine Gauthier: From her studies in geo-ethnology and styling, at the studios of Maison Martin Margiela, winner of the International Festival of young fashion designers of Dinard just before the launch of her eponymous brand in 2007 and the opening of its first shop in 2009, Valentine's course reflects her state of mind: free, voluntary and passionate. But if fashion, she likes it, she wants to think it differently. Her innumerable travels have enriched the DNA with traditional know-how from around the globe. With this wealth, the designer brings the right dose of modernity that is the essence of her brand: a style both urban, refined and casual, in turn, ultra-feminine and street boyish. Her obsession: create a desirable and fair wardrobe, clothes that we want to wear and associate with her desires. In 2019, Valentine Gauthier has been awarded the "Grand Prix de la Création de la ville de Paris".
Ghesq: Koen Ghesquière found his vocation, ceramics, at the age of 52 and created Ghesq. This experience has grown to become the most sought-after ceramic label in Belgium. His creations, all handmade, reflect Koen Ghesquière's personality: they are raw and honest.
