Costume of Fadel Couture
Personnage invented for Nuit Blanche ("White Night" a City-sponsored event that goes on all night)
"I had seen this Yéti in an artistic event in dans un Nantes, and produced the model. I needed 200 for Nuit Blanche. But I received only twenty. I had asked fashion schools but they did not answer or told me it was impossible. Then I found this marvelous workshop. It was undreamed of."

During the first covid confinement the cooperative produced a million masks with filters, commission by the Mayor when they were still rare.

Orders include costumes for an Opéra production:
Fadel making coats for an Opéra show.
"What was that show?" I asked."
"I don't remember I've made the costumes for so many since then."

"The cooperative is not only for money, but to show that we are useful."
-- Fadel
It also shows the vitality
