The Paris-based creative loves Pantelleria, Salomon sneakers and Andrée Putman
My personal style signifier is my classic black uniform of Acne Studios jeans and an Ami Paris hoodie, with a few colourful accidents such as a purple and green Isabel Marant jacket and silver bracelets by Le Gramme. My style is similar to the way I design in that I love to mix and match different technical pieces and accessories; I like to create tension.
The last thing I bought and loved was an ethereal painting by Xie Lei, a contemporary Chinese artist, from Semiose gallery in Paris. It’s very phantasmagorical in its sense of style and colour, and very unique.
The place that means a lot to me is Pantelleria in Sicily, the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean. I’m completely in love with it. It’s about 70km from the Tunisian coast, which you can see from the island, and very wild. The island is volcanic, the water is deep blue and the light is amazing. I’ve spent all my summers there for the past seven years, and now have a house there. I’m half-French and half-Italian, and while I’m not from Pantelleria, I can feel my roots there.
