After Tessy failed years ago with her consulting agency “Finding Butterflies,” she has now revisited the concept of “butterflies” as a fashion designer. She recently planned to sell the label after her Estonian partner left, which gave the impression that the company was not successful, just like her children's books. Now she is venturing out on her own. That's fine.
What I find embarrassing is that she is now using her relationship with the GD family and especially the accession of Guillaume and Stephanie to promote her fashion label. I'm sure she wouldn't have dared to do that with her ex-parents-in-law. She probably thinks that Guillaume and Stephanie don't mind her exploiting her relationship with the family for commercial gain.
This is the part in her LinkedIn account where she is promoting her label
"We are getting ready for Luxembourg Fashion week on October 18th at the iconic Hotel Royal!
Allow us to introduce to you our Founders vision for the brand and the new collection below:
Human Highness Unveils “The Butterfly Effect” – An Ode to Versatility
There are moments in a designer's life when everything falls into place. For Tessy Antony De Nassau, "The Butterfly Effect" is precisely such a moment—her debut collection as sole proprietor of Human Highness, a house that transcends the conventional boundaries of a label.
Building a brand when resources are finite and every decision carries weight demands unwavering vision. Tessy understands this intimately. She has personally traversed multiple countries to gather inspiration and curate materials that align with her vision of timeless elegance. The result: eight exceptional pieces—each a statement, an invitation to celebrate one's inner strength.
This collection honors Tessy's fortieth birthday, a milestone embodying wisdom and self-assurance. Yet "The Butterfly Effect" extends beyond personal reflection—it is born of profound respect for Luxembourg's Grand Ducal Family, particularly marking Guillaume's accession to the throne, uncle to her sons Gabriel and Noah. Guillaume and Stéphanie's intelligence, vision, and commitment have made them copies, and this inspiration flows directly into the collection.
The name is telling: like the larva transforming into a magnificent butterfly, this collection symbolizes growth and the unfurling of inner strength. Each piece narrates this metamorphosis—from quiet strength to the moment we spread our wings.
For Human Highness, Luxembourg represents more than home. Luxembourg Fashion Week is where the house celebrates its roots while exploring new horizons. This year, one of the two men's capes—created for the first time—will be worn by someone very dear to Tessy, underscoring the collection's profound connection to her homeland.
From October thirteenth, Human Highness's exquisite scarves will be available at "De Maart"—the first partnership of its kind in Luxembourg, marking a new path: locally anchored, internationally inspired.
The men's capes fill a void in gentlemen's formal wear, marrying functionality with sophistication for the modern gentleman who understands that true class knows no compromise.
The collection's female models were chosen with the heart—Tessy's friends, women who inspire her everyday and embody what Human Highness represents: versatile, powerful, authentic.
Parallel to the collection, Human Highness has undertaken a complete brand transformation, culminating in a new logo, refined palette, and website that breathes both luxury and accessibility.
Fashion that protects, empowers, and inspires.
With "The Butterfly Effect," Tessy Antony De Nassau has brought a vision to life—one demonstrating that true elegance emanates from within, that transformation is possible, and that fashion reminds us of who we can become."
