Anne-Valérie Hash is a stylist, she's one of the fifteen couturiers who has been awarded the Haut CoutureLabel in France. Her first collection, contemporary with the fall of the Twin Towers, represents an interpretation of the real of the difference between the sexes in the 21st century. For her, at first, it is about transforming a man's wardrobe into a woman's wardrobe. She « steals » mens' trousers to make dresses. As she says, if coco Chanel made trousers fashionable for women, her own work is more « literal ». It's based on « the deconstruction and construction » of a garment whose « origin » she wants to show. But that doesn't make Anne-Valérie Hash's womens' clothes androgyneous for as much. As for her mens' garments, they all feature « accidents » and « gaps », but with fewer and fewer « sharp edges ».
