There was closely that magic, fascinating precisely because they are unattainable. It is the magic of cinema ».

«Of course, my mother’s style has certainly influenced my aesthetic. It was linear but lively: bright colors in clothes, eccentric jewels and the inevitable scarf, always perfectly combined.
