If you hadn't left your apartment key inside one weeknight in November 2010, where would you be today?
GOD I would have cried ( it must be said that the locksmith's note is always a bit salty ). And today, this key is at the origin of Balzac Paris and the fact that I offered you to take part in the adventure with me! Where would I be today? I want to say here, with you, for Balzac Paris. All roads lead to Rome, right? We would have borrowed a different one, that's all!
Why are you essential to Balzac Paris?
I am a girl ! What else? It's no use saying that girls are useful and not “ girls suck ” as Florence Foresti would say. I have a fashion sensibility and an overflowing imagination. And I gave you the idea of Balzac Paris.
What are the positives of working with two guys? Are there any negatives?
What I like most about working with boys is that when the tone rises (a little) for X or Y reasons, you quickly move on to something else. NEXT, as Victorien would say. That's how we see that you're not girls: little stories very little for you . More concretely, you love Excel and its weird formulas when it gives me pimples. We each have our specificities: we don't shoot each other in the paws! The negatives (sorry Charles) is that you don't always understand the potential of a print or a garment and yet is the one that all the girls crave.
What products do you dream of launching with Balzac Paris?
I'm a shoe and bag fanatic like many girls: aren't I? So, I would like to create some for Balzac Paris.
Which stylist do you dream of knocking on the door of Balzac Paris to offer their services?
Isabelle! It's you ? I like what this woman exudes. Starting with her friendly side, her smile and her very own look.
According to you, what would be the best collaboration for Balzac Paris?
We have projects on fire so I won't tell you more. But, for me, a good collaboration is when two brands or two people want to work together. It doesn't have to be one-sided.
What other fashion brand would you have liked to create?
APC! I love it, what a talent! Nothing extravagant, classic, chic. Customers are proud to shop at APC for what the brand exudes.
Bonton, Bonpoint, Soeurs... I'm a fan of the world of children. I regularly fall for the kids. Needless to say, going for a walk in these stores is a real pleasure: you get inspired, it smells good and you could even ask to buy the paper bags, everything is so well thought out.
How do you imagine Balzac Paris in 10 years?
The main thing for me is that my love with Victorien ( my husband ) is intact and that my friendship with Charles too. I sincerely believe that this is the basis so that in 10 years Balzac Paris will be a fashion brand that resonates in everyone's mind in France and abroad and that our commitment to: QUALITY NOT QUANTITY has proven itself.
How do you feel about the March sale?
Good very good !? I'm feeling my way... I'm navy blue from the products we made, but will you follow me? Hurry March!
You have to offer a bow tie to a personality, who do you choose? For what?
STROMAE of course, I'm crazy about the man, his universe and his humility.
The apartment of your dreams? Describe it to us
Do you have time? I worked at the Marie Claire Maison before, so the beautiful apartments I saw passing by: what a pleasure! I guide you to the site that makes me dream and on which there is the apartment(s) of my dreams. But if I have to steer you a little I would say: large living rooms, a kitchen open to the living room, a beautiful sanded parquet floor... Antique furniture, a roof terrace! A lot of us, friends, kids and family: a place where you feel good.
Your favorite smell?
My Bonpoint perfume, the Dyptique fig candle, the smell of a cake in the oven... AND those familiar smells that remind us that we are at home.
Good music? In which box?
Celine Dion's Pagan Prayer, Make Fun! Love at first sight happened when I was little and I thought her accent was on purpose: what a laugh. In which box? HUM you have to go there for a trendy club to play Celine Dion. I will opt for home.
Two expressions (I know there are more) you use? STP Translation
That's life ! Which you also use both in all sauces and which works for everything and anything: pasta, the sun, Balzac... AND so on!
Ascending . For example, to say of someone that he is " beautiful ascendant kid, he tells it to himself" . Finally I understand myself...
Why don't you like oysters anymore? We could have made a dozen this afternoon...
But I like oysters, they don't like me. But I'm sure when I tell you I like burgers it'll do.
