Dr. Joséphine de Staël obtained her PhD in History of Design from the Royal College of Art/ Victoria and Albert Museum London with a thesis on the history of luxury production. Her thesis focused on Parisian fine jewellery production. She worked with the archives of the jewellery houses of the Place Vendôme and trained as a jeweller at the school which trains its jewellers, the Haute Ecole de Joaillerie, where she obtained the French national qualification in jewellery (CAP). Joséphine has a masters from Polimoda Fashion School in Florence and has experience working at the Hermès Italie head office in Milan. She has a degree in Economics from Trinity College Cambridge. Joséphine recently established her own enamel jewellery business (www.josephinedestael.com). Her current academic research looks at the historic and contemporary links between European and Japanese fashion and accessory design and production. She is preparing to undertake a postdoctoral research fellowship at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2023.

‘I am passionate about History of Fashion and am excited to be part of the tutoring team here at LCS. Having obtained my PhD in History of Design from the Royal College of Art and Victoria and Albert Museum London, I love to inspire emerging fashion talents with historical fashion references. I bring an international perspective to my training having lived and trained in London, Milan and Paris. In my classes we’ll explore the relevance of historic fashion in conceptualising new trends and fashion shoots and how by looking back in time we can inspire new innovative concepts!’
