Corinne has alsocreated lines for high quality French brands, Cacharel, Monoprix,Alain Mikli, Variance and l'Oreal.

Corinne's involvement in the exhibition 'Espace de l'Art concret aMouans-Sartoux', alongside artists such as Carl Andre, Buren andTorrini, expanded her creativity and fostered her entrepreneurialbent. Her imagination is fed by all forms of creation, chieflyphotography and cinema, and that is why, with her husband TanguyLoysance, himself a photographer, she decided to produce shortprogrammes, creating 'some fashion choreography' with her clothes.
