“Winning Talents de Mode has really enabled me to launch my brand. To benefit of a shop was the most important thing for me. My brand was already created before the contest but as I was living in the countryside, it was really difficult to have sufficient visibility in order to increase the sales. Of course, because of the marketing relay which the Village des Créateurs offers has always been and is still fundamental. Some programs on TF1, France 3 and M6 have been a nice surprise! Talents de Mode made a lot of advertising for me, I have acquired a good reputation in the fashion for dogs world and after the good press, came the orders: my designs are already sold in Lyon, Paris, Antibes, Cannes…”
