I am Edgar Malkhasyan, a multidisciplinary Creative Director based in Armenia and open to relocation to Paris. I founded Project Cinq to explore collection design, brand identity, and visual storytelling, weaving hand-crafted techniques like fabric transformation and hand painting into signature tactile luxury codes. I lead projects end-to-end, shaping coherent design language across all touchpoints. I’ve collaborated with Walt Disney Studios on couture-level costume design for Disenchanted (2022) and Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), balancing character narrative with meticulous finish. My training at IFA Paris and intensive atelier studies underpin a practice grounded in silhouette, construction, and elegant finishing within the Parisian heritage of fashion.
