What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to express my creativity in fashion, collaborate with diverse teams, and contribute to innovative projects that enhance brand identity.

I am a dedicated stylist and personal shopper based in Paris, with extensive experience in curating unique looks for a variety of projects, including commercials, publicity campaigns, and music videos. My work has allowed me to collaborate with international clients, ensuring that each styling aligns perfectly with the brand's vision and the artist's identity. I pride myself on providing personalized shopping services that cater to the specific needs of my clients, helping them find distinctive and on-trend outfits.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in visual merchandising and styling, working with renowned brands such as Tsumori Chisato and United Colors of Benetton. My ability to adapt displays to reflect brand guidelines and seasonal themes has consistently enhanced customer engagement and satisfaction. I thrive in collaborative environments, partnering with photographers, directors, and production teams to create cohesive and impactful styling across various projects.
