As early as the end of his studies, Philippe Queffurus enters the fashion world and takes part at the 1996 spring Christophe Lemaire's collection.
In 1995, he is hired by Ocimar Versolato to participate in elaboration of models and silhouettes.
Now for 7 years he's been working for Bill Tornade. From the research to the choice of material, colors, including search for volumes and follow-up of canvas, Philippe Queffurus is deeply involved in the elaboration process of the collections.
Graduated from the Beaux-Arts of Brest, having a pronounced taste for image, he illustrates magazine articles and portraits with his own collages.

In 1995 he joins Thierry Mugler to design inter-collections. In charge of colors, he is involved in research and creation of ranges and prints.
Later on, he specializes in technical work for clothes. Until 1999, he is teaching cutting out at the Studio Berçot and since a few years ago, he's been teaching modelling at Sao Paulo, Brasil.
In 1999, he produces his first own fashion collection with the participation of Philippe Queffurus.
After this great experiment, Daniel Fumaz et Philippe Queffurus decide to join force to create a fashion collection based on jersey. ARTIFICE was born ! A financial partner joins soon to strengthen the company.
