About Me

Apart of the new emerging class of designers viewed more as representatives of the world, rather than citizens of one country, American fine artist Thomas Massanier was raised between Spain, and Washington DC to an Islamic father and Roman Catholic mother, Massanier expresses his ethnic and cultural diversity through his annual fashion presentations,and fine art instillation's. Massanier attended the SAIC - School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he received a BFA in design.

In 2007 Massanier returned to Paris to apprentice at French couture house Christian Lacroix. Massanier credits Lacroix with teaching him the most about designing clothes saying “Lacroix wasn't just about perpetuating consumerism, Monsieur(Lacroix) taught us the art of fashion, the craftsmanship... but most importantly the discipline....being at Lacroix was one of my greatest revelations".

Massanier gained valuable experience working on the international stage , with guidence from leading fashion insiders and editors of majors publications :10 magazine, Teen Vogue , Arena Homme +, Dazed and Confused; fashion brands Jean Paul Gaultier, Versus ,and model management powerhouse Ford Modeling Agency (Chicago) contributed greatly to the design aesthetic being formed in the young artist.

Following his apprenticeship, Thomas returned to New York working three years under several new york designers, including the iconic American fashion brand Halston before returning to California to focus on the launch of the Massanier brand.

The collection began with tailored pieces represented by 4 silhouettes for the Fall of 2012, soon after, the collection evolved into the brand that currently consists of Massanier Femme, Homme, M.S.S.C., and Prints.With collectors spanning 4 continents and 13 countries , Massanier peices can be found in the private collections of residents throughout the United States , Rio de Janeiro,, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo ,and South Africa.
