Bio
alessandro canu
Jean-Pol is a very creative designer. He was a strong team player during his internship at Alexander McQueen. He has excellent fashion attitude and good communication skills .
Karolina Piech
I had very good experience when working with Jean - Pol at Alexander McQueen studio. He approached each task seriously and he worked on it profoundly, searching and proposing many solutions, while accomplishing the job. Timing was often the key, which put the team usually in the hectic atmosphere. Jean - Pol eased the ambience with his positive attitude and excitement to start every new project. This had a great impact for the rest of the team and influenced the work in the studio. Jean - Pol is really excellent with group dynamics, as well as he's equally confident to independently carry creative projects on his own.
