.

I have been a photo stylist in Paris for six years now. I create looks to meet the needs of brands, magazines, artists, etc.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR CREATIVE/WORKING PROCESS ?

I constantly “feed” on all the aesthetics that surround me. Whether it's on the street, on social media, abroad... I'm constantly on the lookout.

IS THERE A PARTICULAR PROJECT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH US ?

I have been fortunate enough to work with Cèucle for some time now, creating the looks for her photo shoots. Cèucle is one of my favorite projects because I identify 100% with her DNA. Her world and her pieces inspire me enormously.

HOW DOES YOUR ACTIVITY INFLUENCE THE WAY YOU DRESS ?

Because my mind is constantly busy designing looks for my various projects, I have defined a “uniform” for myself that I feel comfortable in. That means I always wear the same style of clothes, particularly black and oversized items.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLOTHES ?

For me, it's essential to feel comfortable in my clothes and maintain a certain aesthetic. In recent years, I've been buying less but better. I prefer to invest in timeless, high-quality pieces.
