History and vision of the Zadig & Voltaire brand

Zadig & Voltaire is a French label founded in 1997 by Thierry Gillier, great-grandson of the co-founder of the iconic Lacoste. From its earliest collections, the brand has redefined the notion of everyday luxury, blending effortless style with a touch of sensual elegance. The name itself draws inspiration from the philosophical tale Zadig, or The Book of Fate (Zadig ou La Destinée) by Voltaire, underscoring the brand’s intellectual and artistic foundations. Gillier introduced a modern vision of fashion he describes as “casual luxury at a fair price,” earning recognition as a creator of a new icon of luxury and style.

A pivotal figure in the brand’s evolution is former Swedish model Cecilia Bönström, who joined the project in 2006 and assumed the role of Creative Director. Bönström brought an even more forward-thinking approach to the collections, where luxury exists in harmony with everyday practicality. Zadig & Voltaire is more than clothing – it is a source of creative inspiration that captures the spirit of the present, offering women a way to express their individuality through striking, artfully composed looks.
