Julien Westerling started with a sewing machine, bought while he was living in London. No school, no atelier. Just books, long nights, and time spent learning. Back in Paris, it became real work.

Today Julien makes pieces by hand, in his own studio. "I learned to sew to stop buying clothes that didn't feel like me," he says. "Now I only wear pieces I love, most of them made by me."

Denim is at the heart of it. He also finds old furniture and gives it new life with the same fabric: chairs, tables, chess boards. Same hands, same care.
