History
Thierry Gillier founded the brand in 1997, naming it after the Voltaire novella Zadig ou la Destinée. The label emerged during a shift in French fashion toward high-end ready-to-wear that prioritized individuality over traditional couture. It gained cultural significance by popularizing the rock-chic look globally. The brand's history is marked by its use of premium materials like Mongolian cashmere in unconventional, raw designs, influencing the aesthetic of contemporary European streetwear.
