MAISON ÉCLAT LOGO DESIGN
LOGOS · BRANDING · DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION
This project started with a prompt generated by ChatGPT for our entire class: develop a full logo concept for a luxury fashion brand called Maison Éclat. From there, I built a visual identity for this brand to portray elegance, craft, and detail that feels truly high-end.
The Concept
The name Maison Éclat immediately felt sophisticated — “Maison” feels luxury, while “Éclat” brings brilliance. I wanted to design something that reflected both the brand’s avant-garde fashion focus and its foundation in craftsmanship.
My concept combines a classic serif M with a cursive E that subtly weaves through it. One leg of the M is shaped to resemble a sewing needle, and the E flows through it like thread, creating a subtle hint of bespoke tailoring and high fashion.
Research
- I studied logos from brands like Saint Laurent, McQueen, and Tom Ford, noting how they convey strength and sophistication with minimal elements
- Looked at typography trends in high fashion — clean serifs, strong contrasts, and custom letterforms
- Researched fashion illustration techniques and tailoring tools to inspire the needle and thread concept
- Explored how to keep the logo elegant and iconic, while introducing a unique story that feels tailored to the brand

Design Decisions
- Typography: The M is refined and stately, with a custom serif design that commands attention. The E is delicate and fluid, like a hand-drawn signature — creating contrast and balance.
- Symbolism: The E intertwining through the M not only forms a cohesive mark, but also tells a story — the artistry of fashion, the precision of tailoring, and the motion of creation.
- Scalability: The logo works both as a full logo and as a standalone monogram. It’s versatile enough for runways, clothing tags, social media, or signage.
- Color & Presentation: Kept the design black-on-white for now, to let the form speak for itself. It’s clean, classic, and runway-ready.
Final Design Execution
Final Results
The final logo for Maison Éclat is minimal but rich in meaning. It is a symbol that reflects high-end, luxury pieces. It’s not just a mark — it’s a stitched-in signature.
