Véronique was born in Liége, Belgium. In 1984, she moved to Paris, three years later she graduated from the Studio Bercot school of fashion. From 1987 to 1989 she was an assistant stylist at Azzedine Alaïa.
Alongside her work at the Azzedine studio, she spent her spare-time
creating a collection which would win her the Helena Raviist prize in 1989
and secure her the place as laureate of the Canette d'Or in Brussels. In the same year, she started working for Martine Sitbon as assistant stylist. She continued her personal projects and won the prix Courtelle, in 1990, the year that Thierry Mugler was president of the jury. It was then that Véronique decided to start up a business in her own name. She launched her first collection in 1991 during Paris fashion week (prêt à porter). She quickly established international fame with the press and with prestigious buyers.
This season Veronique Leroy, offered her twist on the pencil skirts, raw edge raffia jackets, double layered belts paired with crinkled and ruched dressing. Like most designers, she dabbled with the Dynasty theme. Overall, the rich purples, sleek tweeds, stripes and satin spice was the makings of all things so nice for next Spring!
