Fashion goes out of style, the style, never

Coco Chanel

“The feminine coquetry is part of our human path since time’s dawn, trades and know-how have emerged over the ages. I have always nurtured a passion for anthropology, costume and art history, and the three are inseparable form my point of view. I can say I am proud of mastering an ancestral knowhow. It is o this bases that I make my creations. May them be pure beauty or fantastic creation. Art was a permanent quest of my studies, then cosmetics, beauty and fashion entered my life, and I have devoted myself to this universe for several years now.

Mastering this know-how, in colours and textures, takes time and application. Techniques differ depending on whether you are working on a fashion show or a photographic session, a theatre play, or a movie set. Hence the importance of transmission so you end up forgetting the technique and simply do as art, by being fair and authentic. A perfect anatomical knowledge of the face curves and morphologies are as well essential. Bottom line, it is of most importance to find a perfect balance between natural beauty and creativity, all depends on the subject.”
