skirt GENTIANE in pink

Les Filles d’Ailleurs is a Paris-based prêt-à-porter brand, established in 2006 by designer Gabriela Lissillour.

Originally from Bucharest, Romania, Gabriela first graduated with a degree in Economics in Germany and then joined BMW as an International Buyer within different departments, starting with the Formula One racing division. Over almost 7 years there, she gained an excellent business experience.

She loves the glam and the speed, but quickly feels like something is missing. Having had always a passion for design and creating her own clothes out of the need of being different, she moves to Paris and starts her own clothing company.

Through frequently changing the setting of her own “plays” she finds the notion of “home” no longer rooted into one place, but caught in constant moving, in a natural evolution. Hence, the brand receives the name of Les Filles d’Ailleurs, which is French for The Girls from Elsewhere…

Using natural, carefully sourced fabrics, and a romantic, yet functional cut for the modern woman, the brand speaks about the timeless aspect and the tactile importance of every piece of garment. With a particular attention to details and a subtle approach to women’s need of feeling introspectively elegant, each piece of Les Filles d’Ailleurs tells the story of the beauty from within.

The understated refinement, the clean lines and the delicate shapes build up the elements of what Gabriela manages to render throughout her unstoppable creativity – an elegant image of the woman in constant change.
