How does it feel for you being selected for this year’s edition of Hyeres?

I am very happy. I am also very worried, because I want to make my collection the best it can be! But I am very happy, and proud.

How would you describe Hyeres in three words?

My world is in colors, so : Azure, emerald and beige

What has been your favorite part of the process so far?

Meeting the other selected designers help you rationalize everything, and make the whole process more human. Fashion design is an isolating process, even though you are constantly brought to collaborate with other people for all the bits of your collection. Being able to share with people who perfectly understand your dilemmas, is invaluable.

In three words , what is your collection about?

While I’m tempted to say “Perfect Blue Tamara” (title of my collection), I think this will be more enlightening : colours, materials, bodies.
