Right after graduation, Henri enrolled in a well-known business program. Even though studying the key basics of business was essential, Henri's passion for fashion was the dominant force in his life. He immediately decided to create his first fashion show. A moment that could've led to immediate success since A-List celebrities were supposed to attend. However, 48 hours before the show, Covid-19 was declared a worldwide pandemic and the show was cancelled. Dreams were broken, his appetite opened. 

Two years of heavy worldwide restrictions went by, and as the world opened up its borders, Henri established the business model for HV Atelier during his last year as a business student. He finally could start pursuing his passion again: fashion craftsmanship. He knew for a fact there were no other alternatives than creating his own fashion house. He decided that the earlier he starts, the sooner he can start expressing his story and passion, but most importantly it was the perfect medium for him to share his road to self-discovery, while establishing his own legacy.

During the summer after graduation, Henri decided to showcase 24 garments that he practised on during the end of the pandemic. The story telling was a key factor to the advertising of these garments as it was the first time his art would be shown again since his last high-school year, after Covid cancelled his first fashion show. This collection was special, while it showcased the consequent progress that was done by a self-taught teenager, it was the first trial to a concept he's been developing for months: Make the development of the artist the main product, while letting each client be a part of the story.

The first trial proved promising, yet Henri delayed HV Atelier's launch, seeking higher skill levels. He enrolled in an intensive Fashion Design program at Istituto Marangoni. As he showcased his work, attention from athletes and entertainers surged, orders pouring in. Despite success, Henri aimed for unparalleled craftsmanship. By year-end, with growing orders, attained skill levels, and a proven concept, he secured funds. This pivotal year marked the professional launch of his life's project, HV Atelier.

As Henri approached the official launch of HV Atelier, he recognized the importance of addressing weaknesses and refining every aspect of the business. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, he devoted time to developing the full spectrum of service offerings, ensuring no detail was overlooked. Through meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to perfection, Henri strengthened the foundations of HV Atelier. From enhancing customer experiences to refining operational efficiency, every facet of the business underwent scrutiny and refinement. As the launch date approached, HV Atelier stood poised to offer unparalleled craftsmanship and service, a testament to Henri's unwavering pursuit of excellence and dedication to fulfilling his vision.
