A post-graduate marketing degree under her belt, Isabelle Grandval, Zaza Factory's designer, strode down her own singular road. Along the way, her path was punctuated with two main features: communication within foundations, collaborating with advertisers or agencies on the one hand; and the human element on the other hand. She places her ability to get on well with people at the service of networks of associations, charity organisations, and prevention or at the service of the medical field. Things don't occur quite randomly… Add to this cocktail a marked preference for vintage, travelling, solidarity… and you will obtain the female workshops Isabelle has set up in Burma. The first collection branded Zaza Factory has come out of these community-involving workshops.
