DMDB

dmdb is a couture house founded in 2025 by Guadeloupean neurologist Jérôme de Massias de Bonne. It uses fashion as a poetic and political medium.

Deeply conscious and committed, dmdb celebrates slow fashion on a human scale, where each piece is entirely handmade, made to order, by a Guadeloupean tailor.
