A younger generation of parisian creative is just ahead. It was in December 2015 that Emily Marant creates Studio Marant, a digital space for limited editions and multiples, a showcase for the collectors of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Impregnated at a young age by a family of creative entrepreneurs, Emily Marant naturally goes deep into the Art, Design and Culture industries around Paris with worldwide impact. Marant opens her own studio where she presents the multiple facets of her design and art curations.

From April 17th, It is online at www.studiomarant.com that we all are invited to discover the (art and design) selection of the moment, then during ephemeral events Studio Marant-organized exhibitions and immersive boutiques, which include UNDERTONE along with A la mère de famille, Henriette H, Domestique Paris, Laps, Teorema, Emmanuelle Bousquet, Thomas Lelu.

Paris Social Diary: What is the thing you like the most about your work?

Emily Marant: I founded Studio Marant a year ago, a consulting agency for creative projects and a online store to find art mulitples and design or fashion limited editions curated around major themes. The Studio is an everyday adventure, I learn a lot from this very personal project.

Paris Social Diary: Who’s the best person (or people) to work with?

Emily Marant: I work with many artists, designers, galeries and enjoy the difference between each of them. At the moment I’m also collaborating for my next edition with Marie Madec a french curator that had founded the Sans-Titre, 2016 gallery, we exchange a lot about our common theme: erotism. It’s very interesting and I can’t wait to be able to show our work.

Paris Social Diary: Do you consider doing anything else in the future besides Studio Marant?

Emily Marant: Studio Marant is a full time job that ables me to see many different aspects of creativity (design, art and fashion). By consulting for my different clients I’m also able to murge with other DNAs, experience my know-how to other extends, every project is completely different. As it is today I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else.
