Hello!

My name is Ikerne Mestre {pronounced e-kerr-neh}. Fueled by my desire for understanding the nuances of the Fashion and Luxury Industry, I consider myself a forever student, eager to build on my academic foundations (I have a BA in Fashion Marketing and an MSc in International Fashion & Luxury Management at the Institut Français de la Mode) while appreciating and benefiting from all my surroundings and experiences. So even though my primary beat is fashion, I'm also passionate about a multitude of seemingly unconnected things like books, art, dancing, nature, wellness, philanthropy, spirituality, travel, music, just to name a few. As Coco Chanel would say, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, and what is happening.” I am convinced this is true, and in fact, I've discovered that by honoring my unusual combination of interests, I remain inspired, allowing myself to approach everything I do, including my professional career, in a more holistic manner.

I believe creativity is within all of us, and that the way we express it shall have no confines because when it's driven by our true passions and beliefs it will lead to great results. I also believe the greatest luxury is time, so I'm always seeking to excel in productivity and efficiency. My personal ethos is led by my excitement for what’s possible and a commitment to pursue growth and beauty in all forms.
