He graduated from ESMOD, the Paris-based fashion school, in 1997. The next year, he presented his first collection at the Festival international de mode et de photographie [fr] in Hyères. The collection, that drew inspiration from fetichism and body transformations, was awarded with the first fashion prize from the jury presided by Martine Sitbon, Hussein Chalayan and Jean Colonna - the later offering him immediately his first position. Sébastien Meunier assisted Jean Colonna until he decided to launch his own menswear label in 1999.
Through his eponymous brand, highly autobiographical, Sébastien Meunier would explore for 7 years new fields of masculinity, questioning identities and his own individuality and would eventually become a precursor of the hyper-sexualization of the male body in fashion.[1]
As early as 2000, Sébastien Meunier's work caught the attention of Martin Margiela, inaugurating a decade-long collaboration with the revered designer, first as head of design for MM6, then as creative director for all men's lines of Maison Margiela.[2]
Ann Demeulemeester asked him to join her in Antwerp in 2010 to look after her menswear collections, cementing Sébastien Meunier's affinity with Belgian fashion.[3] Following her decision to retire from the fashion industry in 2013, the Belgian designer chose him as her successor at the helm of the brand she founded in 1985. While staying true to the DNA of the Nineties romantic designer, Sébastien Meunier made the brand evolve toward a more inclusive, gender(s) free(d) aesthetic, reaching a fresh audience. In July 2020, Sébastien Meunier left the company shortly before the relocation of the brand in Italy.[4]
In parallel to his designer's work, Sébastien Meunier is particularly interested in the arts of performance, having staged or participated to several performances throughout his career, including EAT (°2008) which he co-created with the late choreographer Alain Buffard and is now part of the collection of the Centre Pompidou.[5]
