Rolland spent his childhood in the South of France,[1] Argentina and the West Indies. He studied fashion in Paris at l’Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la haute couture.[2]
At the age of 20 Rolland joined Balenciaga and within a year was promoted to the position of Creative Director of menswear and international licenses. At 24, he left Balenciaga to start his own prêt-à-porter company, which he ran for six years, until Jean-Louis Scherrer asked him to become the artistic manager of his haute couture fashion house, a position he occupied for the next ten years.[2]
Rolland simultaneously worked as a costume designer. In 2006 and 2007, he was nominated for the prestigious Molière awards and became an official partner of the Cannes Film Festival.
On the 2 July 2007, Rolland presented a couture collection under his own name.
Rolland is a full member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture and therefore his brand can officially bear the "haute couture" label.[3][4]
