Julien Scavini
Julien Scavini, after his training as an architect, began training as a tailor with André Guilson in Paris. In parallel with this apprenticeship, he started the blog Stiff Collar on which he tells and explains the history and techniques of tailoring. This blog is entirely illustrated by Julien Scavini. He thus combines his two passions: writing and drawing. Spotted by Marabout editions, he then published Modemen which compiles information from the blog. LE FIGARO MAGAZINE also calls on his talents to write a weekly column: La Bonne Mesure du Tailleur Scavini. Finally, he was for several seasons the judge of the televised sewing competition COUSU MAIN on M6 presented by Cristina Cordula. At AlterPublishing, he also published two volumes of annotated sketchbooks Du fil au crayon and Billets d'élégances.
He won the 2023 AlterPublishing Prize for Billets d'élégances .
