Vincent Darré (born January 13, 1959) is a French stylist and interior designer. For several years, he was Karl Lagerfeld's assistant. Later, he was the head designer at Moschino, then the artistic director of Ungaro. He currently designs interiors and furniture.

Early life and education

[edit]

Darré was born in Paris on January 13, 1959.[1] He is the "son of a good family and intellectuals", his father is a communist sociologist and his mother is described as a "feminist, bohemian".[2] His uncle is Spanish writer and politician Jorge Semprún.[3] He attended the École alsacienne.[4] He studied at the Studio Berçot.[5]

At the end of the 1970s, he met the disc jockey Philippe Krootchey and regularly attended La Main bleue, a nightclub in Montreuil[6] opened by François Baudot and Philippe Starck. There he was part of a "gang" composed among others of Eva Ionesco, Christian Louboutin, Edwige Belmore, Farida and Djemila Khelfa. They became regulars at Le Palace after he begged Fabrice Emaer to let them in when they first tried to attend.[6] He was noticed there for his offbeat and somewhat eccentric outfits: "he tied a rope around the waist of his Prince of Wales trousers and danced barefoot".[5] In the exclusive and unmissable discotheque of the era, he rubbed shoulders with Olivia Putman, Pierre Le-Tan,[2] and met Paquita Paquin,[7] Azzedine Alaïa,[3] and Arielle Dombasle.[8]

Career

[edit]

From 1995 to 2001, Darré worked for Karl Lagerfeld at Fendi.[9] In 2001, he became the head designer of Moschino. In 2004, he became artistic director of Ungaro.[2][10] He was fired from the company after two seasons.[11] "I took a step back and realized that when I was designing furniture, I was having a blast."[3] In the 2000s, he founded his company, "Maison Darré", which was established the following decade on rue Royale in an apartment that served as both offices and a showroom.[2][12]

In June 2008, Darré opened his home gallery, Maison Darré, at 32 Rue du Mont Thabor in Paris. He traveled to India, Venice, and Vietnam to find artisans to craft his "Tim Burton-esque designs". He offered one-off pieces and small editions certain designs which included rugs, consoles, and lighting fixtures. His offerings are similar to the decour of his Left Bank apartment which he “decorated with skulls, vintage medical equipment and 3-D anatomy charts.”[13]

In 2008, Darré was hired by André and Olivier Zahm to decorate Le Baron in New York.[3] Then at 21 Place Vendôme, in the salons of the Elsa Schiaparelli house with a decoration described as "whimsical",[14] he recreated the surrealist and offbeat atmosphere of years gone by in a heterogeneous way, through furniture of his own creation, associated with paintings by Pierre Le-Tan, drawings by Jean Cocteau, old mirrors by Saint Laurent and all sorts of objects.[15] In March 2014, he was announced as part of the gastronomic and cultural project "La Jeune Rue".[16] The following year, he decorated the six suites of the Hôtel Montana by Jean-Yves Le Fur near the Café de Flore, whose bar he had already decorated a few years earlier;[3] he mixed very varied pieces with his own creations, establishing a different style on each floor.[17][18] At the end of 2015, he created a surrealist collection of furniture inspired by Salvador Dali.[19]

At the same time, during all these years, he had a small role in the 2000 film Scénarios sur la drogue, in the episode directed by Guillaume Canet,[20] in Mon Idole in 2002,[21] and in Michel Vaillant in 2003.[22] He was responsible for the costumes in the TV film Milady by Josée Dayan.[23]

In 2013, he became a regular contributor to L'Officiel serving as a curator for several issues per year,[10] He includes his drawings and invites his friends Bernard Chapuis, Philippe Azoury and Paquita Paquin to participate in the magazine.[5]

At the end of 2022, he staged 200 pieces, dating from the 1930s to the 1950s, from the Mobilier National to the Gobelins Manufactory and had personalized sets made for the event.[24]

Described as a "party dandy"[17] by L'Express and the "symbol of an artisanal and offbeat art of living" by Paris Match, "eccentric"[25] and baroque, he remains above all an expert in decorative arts who does not hesitate to question the precepts of his field of activity with "his chic and offbeat style"[2] inspired by the surrealists or Dadaism.[3]
