How would you describe your personal visual code?

My visual code is a mix of brains and instinct. I usually go for dark tones and sharp shapes, like I am heading to a midnight lecture in an alternate universe. Sometimes it is a tracksuit, sometimes a vintage coat, but always with a mood. I wear glasses a lot, partly because I need them and partly because they make it very clear someone here is thinking. Or at least pretending to.

Which fashion eras or designers shape your aesthetic? Definitely Martin Margiela. There is something about that deconstructed clarity that just clicks with me. And if I had a fashion time machine I would park it somewhere between 1995 and 2005. That era had just the right amount of weird raw and genius energy like fashion knew exactly what it was doing and did not care if anyone else understood.

How do you relate to the concept of fashion as art? That is what fashion is built on. And honestly what could be more beautiful than creating art that people carry with them. They do not just look at it they live in it. Fashion lets ideas move through the world on real bodies in real time. That is what makes it feel alive.

You mentioned how beautiful it is to create art that people wear and carry with them. Would you say your experience working with Rochas felt like being part of that kind of wearable art?

Absolutely. That walk with Rochas felt like stepping into a piece of living art. Every look was built with so much detail and texture it changed not just how I looked but how I moved. It was not just about walking the runway it felt like I was carrying part of the atmosphere with me.

What unusual shoot concepts have especially stayed with you?

Sometimes what makes a shoot unusual is not just the idea but how the team brings it to life. The atmosphere the approach the energy all of that can turn even a simple concept into something memorable. So I would not name one specific shoot because it is always about the people and how they work together.

And recently I did a very beautiful and important shoot in my career but I will keep the mystery for now. You will see it soon.

What magazines books or fashion resources do you turn to for inspiration? I often look through Double Magazine Metal Magazine and Another Magazine. They always offer a fresh visual language and a unique way of seeing fashion. As for books one of my favorites is Yves Saint Laurent by Laurence Benaïm. It is a powerful and atmospheric biography that I like to come back to.
