From lockdowns to staycations and Zoom calls to streaming fashion shows, 2020 was an exceptional year, and so far, 2021 seems to be following suit, what’s kept you going throughout this time? Is there something in particular you are proud of having done, personally or professionally?
Prior to COVID, I was always outside for work appointments, and in my spare time, I would be in art galleries, museums, or on a plane for business trips. From the very beginning of the lockdown, I told myself that this was the way it was, and that I had to deal with it, and the sooner, the better. As a result, I created a new rhythm for myself. I created a new routine, I finally took the time to cook, do sports, training or yoga on a daily basis (it was a novelty for me).
I am also lucky to have been able to create an interior as colorful as a rainbow, reflecting my personality, and my wardrobe, but also full of plants. In my opinion, it's very important to be surrounded by a natural universe (Virgo's way of life). Plants give life to a room. My plants play a very important role, both in my living space and in my well-being.
Of course, most of my projects have been put on hold because of COVID, but besides that, I have also been able to participate in great projects, humanely speaking, and to create new experiences. After the lockdown I was lucky enough that Highsnobiety commissioned me to do a shooting production of an outdoor collection, so that I could go with friends to the wilderness. It was a great project, and I was super proud of the result.
