- After a B.A. Central Saint Martins and Diplôme École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Praline Le Moult now continues the adventure-wear heritage of Eugene Le Moult the world's No.1 butterfly-hunter. She explores the themes of industrialisation and colonisation through the medium of a medieval technique: hand-block-printing.
Eugène Le Moult lived the Golden Age of Adventure, racing through savage jungles; the world's most famous butterfly hunter at a time were butterfly hunting was de rigeur for gentlefolk.
Dad's grand-dad sold 20 000 000 butterflies.
Cabinet Le Moult was French Guiana's No.3 industry. Hirohito (Showa Emperor of Japan), Sergei Nikitich Khrushchev (son of the Soviet Premier) and Vladimir Nabokov (author of "Lolita") were amongst its clients.
E.Le Moult developed equipment for hunting in savage jungles.- IMDb Mini Biography By: P.LM - Praline Le Moult played Emmanuelle Le Quesnoy at the age of 7, having beaten hundreds for the role. The break-out success of "La vie est un long fleuve tranquille" by Etienne Chatillez (most successful French movie of the decade) forced her to choose between the life of a child-actress and her schooling; she chose to continue school and pursue studies in the arts, with a BA at Central Saint Martins (focussed on Stage- and Costume Design for Performance Art) and a Diplôme in Fine Arts at L'École des Beaux Arts de Paris.
At L'École des Beaux Arts Charlotte Guibé and Praline Le Moult won the Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennesy Prize for young talents, Hommage á la Chine, with a video called "Sinoidoscope". LVMH sponsored their sojourn in the Republic of China, where they lived in the 798 Art district of Beijing and filmed emerging artists, resulting in a filmed diary-documentary called "MA Chine Machine". In parallel, Praline developed a set of African-patterned bomber-jackets , which metamorphosed into a world-wide street-wear fashion some months later.
Praline Le Moult worked on costume design in the French movie and advertising industries, leading her to take over the heritage line of her great-grandfather, Eugène Le Moult, the world's No.1 butterfly hunter, now producing adventure-wear for the home.- IMDb Mini Biography By: P.LM
