Claire Michel
Illustrator & designer
OURKA is my signature and brand,
created in 2019.


Illustrations
OURKA is an illustrated universe centered around clothing, design, beauty, and well-being.
It draws on my experience creating the OURKA wardrobe since 2019.
Intuitive watercolors, portraits, professional commissions; my spontaneous style blends with your ideas.
I am available to discuss your illustrated project.
My story
I’m Claire, I grew up in the middle of nature in the South West of France.
I studied fashion design at Duperré in Paris, then at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
My imagination is fueled by colors, world cultures and wild nature.
OURKA was born naturally, in response to my need for independence.
Creative wardrobe
Free and colorful silhouettes, in limited editions.
Slowly made in Saint-Malo.
I select exclusively European linen, apply eco-certified paint, and combine elements of hemp, earthenware, and cotton. I exclude metal and plastic.
OURKA clothing transcends seasons and trends; it is unique; a statement piece of clothing.
Meetups and news
