Parisian girls are known worldwide for their elegance, effortless style and man-crushing conversation skills. My friend Marguerite Baux is no exception: she graduated from the best literary university course in France (Agrégée de Lettres Modernes) at a very young age, got into École Normale Supérieure, and went on to become a highly esteemed writer, translator, and journalist. So it’s no surprise that when she drives, it’s in an über-cool 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300TD.

Sarah from Colette recently asked a bunch of Parisian illustrators and designers to participate in an ongoing show of posters, for Little White Lies magazine, inspired by famous movies.
I went for a legendary predator of the seas, and did a poster made of blood drops:
The show has a lot of great posters, some from very good friends of mine – all on sale by the way…
Don’t miss it, at Colette until the end of May!
Last month I was asked to do an installation for the opening night of the W Hotel in Paris. My first choice was to do a photocall inspired by dazzle battleships, and to design bathrobes that the guests would wear, sporting the same pattern so that their bodies would vanish in the optical camouflage. W Hotels weren’t too keen on guests exchanging germ-infested bathrobes, so I changed my approach, and decided to print a single white suit, and to wear it through the evening, posing with friends and guests. The effect worked wonders, and I literally disappeared in most of the shots:
Some people mentioned the work of Chinese Artist Liu Bolin, but not only is this completely different as I could move around without altering the illusion, but he’s also a pale copycat of 60′s supermodel-turned-performance artist Veruschka. If anything I was more inspired by Lee Yongbaek.
