How did you become a stylist?

I attended the IICC modelism school at 19-years-old in Marseille and at the same time started working with Mickael Azouley (founder of American Vintage) in a previous adventure he had launched into.

After one year, he decided to create American Vintage and kept me as his stylist. It was an amazing adventure that lasted 11 years.

After a long gap break to think things over, it became quite obvious: I could do nothing else than start my own company.

The idea of working for one’s self is something that most creative persons keep in the back of their heads—but then you must jump the gun… Change is not comfortable, but I am so happy to have made this decision.

Choosing to develop my own universe, being able to work materials I adore and to allow my imagination to wander.
