I am a French fashion illustrator, born in Paris and living near the west coast of France.

After five years at university and being graduated in something very far from the art world, I decided to come back to my true colours and take my chance as a freelance illustrator.

Outside-The-Box.

For me subcultures are the heart of every cosmopolitan city where many influences are mingling and complementing together. I must say that London has a special place in my heart. I love its unique energy and the people’s open-mindedness. Each neighbourhood has its own codes that make the city vibrant, powerful and beautiful. I am also very attracted by Tokyo but never got the chance to visit it yet.

I live a region where the sky is grey most of the time; that is why I have a true passion for bright colours. The inspiration is simply linked to my mood of the day; the mix of colours is limitless since I love them all! The only combination that I don’t really use is red with black. The inspiration for the prints comes from the nature around, the architecture, people that I meet or even the music I listen to. It also comes from the tones of magazines pictures that I collect in my inspiration books and from runway current trends.

I actually do both! I try to use my imagination for most of my sketches but I also have a lot of pictures collected in different binders used as pose references. I specially consult them for hands expression and hair.

Yes I do! I can’t list them all, so here is a sample: Françoise Sagan, Iris Apfel, Arletty, Béatrice Dalle, Pamela Anderson, Nina Hagen, Louise Brooks, Tilda Swinton, Mademoiselle Yulia, Angelica Huston, Chloé Sevigny, Gilda Ambrosio, Sigourney Weaver, Beth Ditto, Kate Bush… and many more.

I like faces with strong expressions and imperfections.

They would say a lot of things. They would speak up for equality for men and women, they would stand up for LGBTQ+ rights, they would spit on extremist groups who preach for racial hatred, they would fight against animals’ torture, they would defend self-expression freedom. All these root causes jeopardized by a certain movement of fear and distrust that is spreading in our societies.

Alessandro Michele (Gucci), Simon Porte Jacquemus, Josep Font (Delpozo), Vivienne Westwood and Victoria Beckham.

I would LOVE to collaborate with any designer for a collection, like Prada or Gucci did. I could die just to see my characters on the runway. Designing my own collection would be a dream, but it is a very different approach that requires very specific skills. Still a lot to learn!

As many illustrators and artists, my biggest aspirations are to live decently from my art and to keep sharing my aesthetic and vision with the world.
