Behind the curtain

Antoine Guitou, textile designer  and  fiber artist, is a creator with multiple influences, coming from an art history education at École du Louvre, with a major in fashion & costume also in Far East art. After interning at musée d’Orsay and at Balenciaga, he joins fashion design studies at La Cambre and collaborates on the Lacoste catwalk line.

Faced with the lack of environment ethics in fashion industry, his career takes a turn when he dives in event production, taking part in artistic projects revolving around the queer scene. He then heads towards the world of craft and furniture, working for traditional upholsters, where he does furniture sewing.

This experience allows him to reconnect with ancient techniques, a know how that will significantly influence his creative practice and lead to the creation of his own label in 2021: Chateau Resort. Since then the curtains have been seen in edgy concept stores, some nice living rooms, arty exhibitions and local fairs as in Salone del mobile 2024 in Milano.
