About

I have always needed to understand how things are made.

It is this curiosity that led me to clothing: understanding its construction, working with the material, altering a cut, trying, undoing and starting again until I find the form I find most appealing.

I am Jormy Miyakou, art director, designer, pattern maker and tailor, born in Libreville, Gabon.

Trained for three years at Passage à l’Art under Françoise Merleau, I developed an approach to clothing in which technique and creativity are inseparable.

My interest in architecture, volumes, proportions and the objects around us constantly feeds my work.

I like to bring together worlds that sometimes seem opposed: old and contemporary, craft and technology, structure and movement, elegance and streetwear.

I do not seek to belong to a particular style. I prefer to explore, experiment and let each idea find its own expression.

The workshop is where my ideas take shape.

There I draw, cut, build, try, undo and start again.

From the first sketch to the finished garment, every step is part of a process in which artisanal craft is in dialogue with contemporary tools.

Through the workshop, I develop pieces made in small series and by pre-order, with particular attention to the cut, natural materials and finishing. Semi-bespoke and bespoke are offered on request, depending on availability.

My ambition is to create garments that stand the test of time, both in their construction and in their aesthetics.

Opportunité is not something you wait for. It is created.

Born in 2019, OPPORTUNITÉ represents another side of my universe.

It is a space of freedom, experimentation and curiosity. A playground in which I can explore cultural references, subvert codes and bring unexpected ideas to life.

Where JORMY MIYAKOU creations emphasise exclusivity, construction and artisanal craft, OPPORTUNITÉ expresses a more spontaneous and accessible vision of clothing.

Two expressions of the same passion, united by one conviction: creation should never stop evolving.
