Sagan on the nightstand, Duras in the closet, Maupassant for tomorrow.

Claire Teixeira was a consultant at a major American firm, often slipping away during her lunch break to shop at Le Bon Marché. Then came ten years in Lisbon, co-founding an investment fund with her husband, and, in parallel, launching her blog, The Working Girl. Back in Paris, she sketched her very first collection on her sofa in June 2019. Since then, her wardrobe has read like a library: Sagan becomes a blouse, Duras a skirt, Proust a dress, and Ernaux an iconic piece.

For Claire Teixeira, the love story with clothes started early: at three years old, she was already changing outfits three times a day. As a teenager, her pocket money went straight to fashion magazines, jewelry, and clothes. Yet, she first chose business school, then consulting at a major American firm—with a slight detour from corporate discipline: she recalls regularly escaping at lunchtime to browse the boutiques of Le Bon Marché.

She then spent ten years in Lisbon with her husband Diego, where they co-founded a fund management company. Far from Parisian boutiques, she ordered her wardrobe online and began sharing her looks under the handle The Working Girl. When they returned to Paris and sold their business, her different lives finally came together: in June 2019, sitting on her sofa, Claire sketched the very first Rosaé collection.

Today, the house designs its wardrobe like an eclectic French library: Le Sagan is a blouse with architectural smocking, Le Duras a skirt, while Proust, Ernaux, Baudelaire, Vigny, Rodin, and Pagnol also find their names on the tags. Pieces are produced in limited quantities, mainly in France and Europe, with cashmere, merino, and French tweeds among the signature materials of the house.
