ABOUT
My name is Valérie Mahé
I am a French fashion designer based in Ireland, with a lifelong connection to design and craftsmanship. My career began at 17 in Paris, working in sales, alterations, and dressmaking, where I developed a deep understanding of clothing structure. I later trained in high-end jewellery making, earning a professional certificate and attending a high jewellery design school, with the opportunity to work for prestigious high-end jewellery houses in Paris.
In 2000, I founded my first fashion design and manufacturing business in Ireland, creating bridal gowns. In 2010, I launched a bridal collection of 12 silk high-end couture gowns. Today, through my brand What to Wear, I design consciously made clothing and style women for their professional needs and special events, celebrating individuality and emotional connection.
