Antoinette Mendy has been involved in fashion and clothing since childhood. She and her cousins used to visit the local tailor when they were children to collect snippets of leftover fabric to make dolls’ clothes. Later, she worked in the design sector and as a beautician. She is enrolled at the Zurich F+F School for Art and Media Design, where she has been studying Fashion and Design since last year.
