Raphaële Anfré is an artist and a fashion designer. She is passionate about art and traditional handcraft. She always drew, as far back as she can remember. After studying at the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne (Parisian fashion school), she joined a high end ready-to-wear French fashion House. She was responsible for the creation, the development and the production of four collections per year. In 2016 she leaves and decides to fully commit to her art. She dictates to herself a new way of drawing. So far, she was used to traditional techniques with the idea of “what to do, what not to do, what is right, what is wrong” leaned at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (Parisian art school) and the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne but decided not to use any pencil or eraser. She eliminates the concept of error in drawing, and chooses to apply colours directly. In 2018 she starts her own fashion House, named “Ë.L.E Paris” after the last three letters of her first name, also the homophonous of “ELLE”, “SHE”, in French. A high-end ready-to-wear brand, made in France, with a collection of self hand painted unique pieces.
