Maryll and Pascale present their Perspective on clothing, the core business at Laboratoi/RE. Since 2018, Laboratoi/RE has stopped producing collections and has decided to work more freely, upcycling what already exists. They like the idea of working with the constraint of using what already exists (old collections, second-hand clothes, dormant textiles) in a more spontaneous and sensible way. Bearing in mind the considerable impact that a garment can have on the environment and on all our lives, they want to use the object as a positive force. The garment as a real flag for change.
About the speaker
Maryll (Laboratoi/RE co founder) trained as a designer/pattern maker/seamstress at the Mode et Style school in Lausanne. After an internship with Anne Lombard she met Patricia with whom, at the age of 21, she opened the atelier-boutique Laboratoire in October 2000. Since then she's been on a journey full of discoveries, encounters and challenges... always evolving. Maryll's leitmotif is always to speak the truth, whether in her personal life or in her professional practice.
Pascale was introduced to sewing very early on, and worked as a sales employee before choosing to shake things up by following on-the-job sewing and pattern-making training. What she took for a hobby very quickly become a real passion and, in 2012, she launched her clothing brand before joining Le Laboratoire in 2019.
The Laboratoi/RE boutique is now located at rue Mercerie 16 in Lausanne.
In the shop, you'll find primarily Swiss designers, working in an environmentally- and people-friendly way. In the basement of the boutique is the atelier, where limited edition pieces are produced, all using only what already exists (old collections, second-hand clothes, any dormant textile).
