WHERE DO YOU PRESENTLY LIVE AND WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR CITY?
I live in Paris. What I like the most about this city is its cultural resonance. Walking the historic streets of Paris never ceases to amaze me. There is such a unique beauty that inspires me and has always fascinated me. Paris has always had this epicurean lifestyle. The French love to eat good food, hang out in wonderful places and wear the latest fashion.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN AND RAISED?
I was raised next to Paris, in a family house, with a garden full of trees but I craved the big city life.

WHAT WERE YOUR ASPIRATIONS GROWING UP?
Growing up I knew I wanted to work in the fashion industry. Fashion is more than just deciding what to wear in the morning, fashion is a statement; fashion is a way to express yourself and I understood that from a young age. I wanted to work with women with that certain “Je ne sais quoi” that makes elegance and allure.

WHY FASHION?
As I said earlier, fashion empowers women in a way. The way one dresses is the first impression given to others, and fashion helps you shape it.

WHAT IS YOUR PRESENT OCCUPATION?
I'm a full-time mother of two, a digital influencer, and an image consultant.

WHAT'S YOUR BACKGROUND TRAINING?
I was driven towards fashion, so I trained to be a stylist; I wanted to try every possible area to see where I would feel most comfortable, like press for example. I would say my career in fashion has been fulfilling as a digital influencer, compiled with consulting and photo styling.

WHAT DOES STYLE MEAN TO YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET SO PLAYFUL AND FEARLESS?
With age comes confidence; you get to know yourself better, you know what suits you. My style is my own way of expressing myself. It’s all about having fun, incorporating lots of colors, playful accessories, like animals, to cheer the world up and escape reality.

WHAT SHOULD EVERY WOMAN OWN AND WHAT SHOULD BE QUICKLY THROWN AWAY?
I believe every woman should have the perfect jeans, the crispy cotton white shirt, the timeless black dress and a strong bold piece. I don't believe in throwing away anything, I find fashion “faux pas” kind of cute. It takes a lot of confidence to try something new and that gesture should be appreciated. But if I had to give a piece of advice, I would say, throw away bad fabrics.

WHO DO YOU RANK AMONG YOUR FAVOURITE DESIGNERS?
To name a few, J.W. Anderson and Phoebe Philo - because this list could go on for days.

HOW DOES YOU AESTHETIC TRANSLATE IN OTHER AREAS OF YOUR LIFE ?
It's all linked, I’m sensitive to art, design, architecture, and it is reflected in my style. Sometimes I would be inspired by a color combination I would see in a painting and make an outfit out of it.

WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION?
Traveling inspires me, exåloring cultures I'm not familiar with, meeting people, their open mindedness and different cultural backgrounds. Art and everything that comes with it inspires me.

WHAT BEAUTY ROUTINE DO YOU SWEAR BY?
Cleaning and moisturizing your face is a must. I have dry skin so I swear by my “Esthederm” face cream. To moisturize my body I use “Crème de la Mer”.

HOW DO YOU SPEND A DAY OFF?
I try to stay as far from my phone as I possibly can. I usually spend it with my children, trying to enjoy the simple things that life has to offer.

HOW DO YOU STAY BALANCED?
The key to staying balanced is not being excessive. I try to eat healthy and take care of my body and spend time with my loved ones.
