About us

Drunk Cotton was born from a life immersed in creativity, individuality, and the freedom to be bold. Growing up in Paris, I was surrounded by art in its purest forms. My mother, a talented artist, filled our home with the scent of clay and paint as she crafted exquisite pieces of fine jewelry for some of the world’s most renowned houses. My father, a pioneer in the world of beauty, introduced me to the magic of scents and skincare, even creating Barneys New York’s signature perfume.

These early experiences shaped my love for artistry and my appreciation for the unconventional. Summers spent in Cape Cod gave me space to dream and grow, while studying fashion at Istituto Marangoni in Paris and the Fashion Institute in Los Angeles allowed me to refine my craft.

Drunk Cotton is a culmination of these influences—a brand born from a world of art, fashion, jewelry, and beauty. It’s a reflection of everything I’ve learned, a celebration of individuality, and a refuge for complex hearts.

Here, we reject conformity, embrace authenticity, and believe in living unapologetically. Drunk Cotton is more than a brand; it’s a tribe for those who dare to be themselves, always.
