“At work, I prefer outfits that are comfortable, expressive and in line with my convictions. I like to combine handmade pieces with secondhand finds, with particular attention to textures and cuts.”
Gala

“When I’m invited to a gala, I like to put together singular silhouettes, often combining artisanal or vintage pieces with creations by independent designers. Even though I buy a lot secondhand, I love beautiful pieces, and I’ve sometimes splurged a little, but they’re always pieces I’ve worn thousands of times!”
Casual/sport

“Even when I’m in ‘relaxed mode,’ I remain true to my taste for loose, quirky and easygoing pieces. What counts is movement, lightness, ease.”
Afterwork

“Once the day is over, I like to have fun--even more fun--playing with colours and contrasts. Comfort is still essential, but I dare to be more fanciful and use cheerful accessories.”
Party

“For festive evenings, I like textured fabrics--I often pay particular attention to materials--bold colours, generous volumes, which match my figure. I often dip into secondhand, but each piece is chosen with care.”
