OUTRESONGE is a Parisian house dedicated to the creation of clothing, accessories and objects.

Its name combines the French words outre (beyond) and songe, evoking a territory beyond the familiar, where ideas, perceptions and possibilities take shape before entering the world.
The house approaches creation as a dialogue between craftsmanship, design and culture. Each piece is developed with a commitment to thoughtful construction, noble materials and enduring quality.

Balancing elegance with utility and refinement with purpose, OUTRESONGE creates objects designed to accompany contemporary life while fostering a sense of presence, confidence and freedom.
Rooted in Parisian craftsmanship and produced with exceptional artisans in Paris and across Europe, the house is committed to creating objects of lasting relevance.

WILLY CARTIER: BIOGRAPHY

Behind this ambitious and poetic project stands Willy Cartier, a true free spirit of the contemporary art scene, who embodies the soul of the brand. International model, actor, painter, photographer, and now designer, he has made a mark with his singular presence, intense gaze, and hybrid world—on the runway as well as on screen. A multifaceted artist, he moves across genres and formats without ever betraying his inner path: a quest for authentic expression, nourished by a rich cultural heritage and a bohemian childhood spent between the backstage of the Opéra Garnier and television sets. Trained in dance and theatre, and quickly noticed for his magnetic aura, Willy has collaborated with major names in fashion, from Givenchy to Jean Paul Gaultier and Karl Lagerfeld, while also pursuing an acting career in France and internationally. He is also a photographer and painter whose work has been exhibited in Paris (The Mute, 2023) and New York in 2024, in solo shows acclaimed for their visual and emotional intensity—foreshadowing the DNA of Outresonge: a bold, nomadic, and artistic style.

COLLECTION 01 – JUNE 2025

In June 2025, Outresonge will unveil its very first collection: a gender-neutral wardrobe of around twenty fashion and accessory pieces, conceived as a dialogue between material, form, and emotion.For this inaugural collection, Willy Cartier, as artistic director of Outresonge, joins forces with designer Nicolas Theil. A fashion and accessories designer trained at the École Duperré, Theil honed his craft at houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier before launching his eponymous brand and later collaborating with Jacquemus, Christophe Lemaire, Andrew GN, Renault, and more recently with St Dupont. Known for his artisanal leatherwork and narrative sensitivity, Nicolas Theil conceives each piece as a living object. He shares with Willy Cartier a common approach: living material, free form, and strange sensuality. Their meeting sparked an alchemy. Together, they present a collection of powerful, timeless pieces.
