« Quel que soit l'endroit où l' on vit, pour être connu et pour faire connaître ce que l' on fait , que ce soit son produit, sa marque il faut voyager. Par exemple pour un parisien, il est obligé d' aller à New York ou à Londres. Il faut s' ouvrir au monde mais on ne quitte pas son île ».(Denis Devaed)
“Regardless of where one lives, to be known and to show your work, whether the product, the brand, one must travel. For example, to a Parisian, he is obliged to go to New York or London. One must be open to the world but it does mean that one leaves the island.”(Denis Devaed).
Born on the very beautiful island of Guadeloupe Denis Devaed is no longer to be introduced. His career as a designer is very well known worldwide.
