Who are you, what are you doing at Balzac Paris? I am Marie Camille Goutteratel, PAP stylist at Balzac Paris for over a year and a half! A typical day ? There isn't really a typical day, the days are punctuated by the progress of the collection, most of the time I arrive earlier to be able to fully concentrate before everyone arrives; ) I answer emails, model, design new clothes for sales in the coming months, select fabrics… My days are very varied! None are alike and I do not see them pass! What inspires you to create pieces? A bit of everything, I hang out a lot on Pinterest and Instagram. I am also inspired by the outfits of people I meet in the street... What do you prefer to create? Definitely dresses and blouses! Happy times of the day? The little morning coffee break when we chat and especially the lunch break I am a big gourmet: DRosanna navy dress, Victor leopard ballet flats - Pink top, Voltaire with polka dots , Simone brownie
What are you nicknamed in the team? I have several “MC” nicknames and others that I keep secret! Parisian forever? Not Burgundian at heart! Parisian for 4 years, I love living there so much. Balzac Paris immerses us in literature, what are your classics? Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice <3 I could read it again and again. More recent: Joel Dicker, The Truth About the Harry Québert Affair and The Baltimore House. Your 3 favorites at Balzac Paris? Lola shirt : timeless, chic but casual at the same time, perfect shirt Jean Voltaire : favorite jeans, so comfortable with the ideal fit Duras sandals : I'm not very into heels, I love looking at them but not wearing them… However, I fell in love with the red Duras that I wear every time I go out. Your must-sees in Paris?- Le Pop Up du Label : to spend a good evening with friends, drink cocktails or wine with a plate of charcuterie, make faces in the photo booth in the basement, let off steam on the dancefloor, there is no better place
