CEO & DESIGNER

I am Janet Lönnqvist, the entrepeneur and the designer at Madame & Mademoiselle.

I grew up with tailoring, because my ancestors were tailors and I spent a lot of time with my grandmother, who taught me the basics in sewing. As 13-years old, I did my first “commercial job”, a suit for my brother.

My education is in clothing technology, fur sewing, bag design and fashion assistant and I will start studies in trend consulting in the coming years.

I have worked all my adult life as an entrepreneur in the fashion industry, couture sewing and I also ran an antiques and interior design business. During the early childhood of my four children, I made the decision to stay home with them. Now, however, they are all grown up and I have chosen to continue working with what I am passionate about, fashion and especially sustainable fashion, such clothes, which we have can use for a long time.

Over the years my assignements have been many, but the most special once are probably the evening dresses for the Finnish Independence Ball at the Castle. I have designed stage clothes for choirs and also designed and manufactured accessories for other companies and associations.
