Founded by Emilien Vivier and André Rodrigues, and built around a set of coherent principles that find expression in distinct and compelling ways, the House imparts its own rhythm rising above short-term indulgences in preference of long-lasting value reflecting its founders' vision of true luxury.
Archetypes are examined and reiterated in a genuine attempt to propose a new perspective; an unerring quest to offer uncompromised timeless pieces with constant resonance.
Every piece is soulfully made in France and holds the House's strong, confident aesthetic. A celebration of individuality and authenticity.
Born in France, based in Paris, Emilien lends his vision as the Creative Director for the House. A reverence to the French heritage with an instinct for the zeitgeist his designs - both distinctive and sculptural in form - give life to a unique storytelling.
He began his professional career as a business lawyer after completing his studies at the Sorbonne University. Subsequently, in the pursuit of a creative outlet, he joined the celebrated Haute Ecole de Joaillerie in Paris; where he could nurture his unflinching desire for excellence, working on High Jewellery creative projects with the Houses of Christian Dior and Hermès.
Known for his infallible commitment to quality and integrative approach, André stands as the authority of marketing and branding for the House.
In a career spanning over a decade, motivated by his aesthetic sensibility, he started off as a fashion designer in Brazil; later on after completing his masters in Marketing Strategy and Consumer behavior he moved to Paris, in 2022. His contribution has helped shape the House into what it is today; his actions always purposeful and intentional. No part of the process is ever relegated under his eyes.
The pair fortuitous encounter took place in 2023, and from the outset they recognized a shared passion; timeless elegance and the desire to often times explore the unexpected. Interwoven with the personal stories of its founders, EMILIEN is a joined, dedicated, attentive labour of love.
