show moreFrom fundraising to design decisions to manufacturing options - Cecile brings strategies and tactics for building a fashion brand. Her startup stories and advice will also resonate with business owners across all industries and with those who are dreaming of launching their own business.
Cecile Thieulin was born in France, grew-up in Paris, studied in Barcelona and worked in New-Delhi, London and New-York before she settled in between Paris and Boston… where she works today.
Because Cecile has always had a fascination for geometry, light and shadows, shape and spaces, cities and history, she chose to study architecture.
In 2006, she started her own architectural business and, along the way … when she was looking for specific clothes she couldn’t find, she did what many women do. She decided to learn sewing and created her first pieces.
When Cecile moved to Boston in 2016 she was inspired by the incredible energy of the city, and decided to launch a creative new space for fashion.
Cecile’s fashion brand is called Simone Simon, based upon having seeing a movie with the actress Simone Simon wearing a spectacular striped shirt. Cecile was so inspired, she decided to play with stripes and lines (geometry) on the woman’s body to enhance body curves.
Today Cecile approaches fashion like she would construction of a home or building, and uses her technical background to optimize the apparel fabrication process from creation, to prototyping, to manufacturing.
