As Knitwear Designer at The Kooples for over four years, Valérie-Hélène developed women's, men's, and knit accessories collections, balancing commercial objectives with a strong creative vision.
Working closely with the merchandising and design teams, she translated seasonal briefs into commercially relevant knitwear while also developing statement pieces that reflected the brand's distinctive identity. Combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of yarns, constructions, and manufacturing, she ensured each collection met both aesthetic and production requirements, consistently respecting the DNA of The Kooples.
