Fashion Background:
My fashion sense was passed down from my godmother, who adored 1920's fashion, loved Louise Brooks, and was always so elegant. I didn't go to fashion school but being surrounded by her, and growing up in Paris really shaped my way.

First fashion memory
This is obviously linked to her. She used to dress me up in beautiful hats and take pictures of me.

Heels or Flats:
Flats! I'm always rushing and running everywhere so flats are a must.

Vintage or new
Although I do love vintage, I also love new things as well. It’s all about mixing them together. I love flea-markets and always visit them wherever I go. This summer I travelled to Japan and the flea-market was my first stop.

Style Icon:
I'm really inspired by Jane Birkin and her effortless style. I also love all the Nouvelle Vague icons like Brigitte Bardot. Businesswomen and entrepreneurs are such an inspiration to me, for example Morgan Sezalory in the way she developed and has stayed true to Sezane’s original essence.

Who inspires you:
My surroundings and my mom!

Crepe or Croissant:
I love Galene Perrotin in Paris

Best business tip:
You have to be organized. But also learn how to take a step back and appreciate where you're coming from and where you're going in order to keep being inspired to push forward.

Favourite piece in your collection:
Our ceramic necklaces, I love the way they look and the fact that you can clip on our charms to personalise them. I also love our Picnic choker from our latest collection - It's so fun!
