Soon after her graduation, Hanane Hotait joined the design studio of 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Marchesa in New York, which taught her ready-to-wear thoroughness, and fashion standards.
After a year in New York, she returned to Paris in 2016 and started her own eponymous label, combining her Lebanese heritage with the style and sensual beauty of Paris, where she grew up.
The designs accentuate femininity while remaining modern and timeless. French women have always inspired her, how they incorporate menswear into their wardrobe, especially men’s shirts. The Oriental side of the collection adds sensuality and mystery to the glamour and nonchalance of French women’s sophisticated style and attitude. It is the combination of these two women that has defined Hanane’s unique approach. Playfully re-inventing the classic shirt, the collections have now grown to include dresses, skirts, and tops, yet always keeping the brand’s DNA at heart.
The brand collaborates with European suppliers and manufacturers to ensure high end, irreproachable quality. The collections are designed in Paris and produced by small ateliers and dressmaking factories in the city, that respect traditional know-how and experience. The products are mainly sold in France, Russia and Middle East.
