Zadig & Voltaire announced that Paulo Melim Andersson will co-design the womenswear and accessory lines, together with Cecilia Bönström, the current Artistic Director.

Andersson previously served as the Creative Director of Marni and Chloé, and also worked for Vanessa Bruno and for the Italian eco-friendly label Cangiari. In addition, he is currently a professor of fashion at the IUAV University of Venice, a role that he will continue to hold. The designer aims to increase the product offer of Zadig & Voltaire, which is planning to grow further into the high-end market. ‘’We complement each other, his resolutely feminine style sets off the androgynous look of Zadig & Voltaire,’’ said Cecilia Bönström to WWD, when talking about her work relationship with Paulo Melim Andersson.

The designer-duo already produced 30 looks for the Women's Fall/Winter 2015-16 collection, which will be presented on March 5th during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week.
