IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING.

Back on the road again , Goodbye sunny Sydney, hello to a wet Europe. I've been busy since the first hour I arrived back in France, connecting straight for work to Berlin and then onto London. Now back in France sitting in front of my fireplace writing this ,while the rain still falls. Hopefully I'll get some good weather in California where I'm about to go for the Emmy Awards…..In fact I have quite a few jobs lined up in LA. Here is a mood board I worked on for... Read more...

For Good and Steamy Working Days

It's a Buddhist custom before a shoot to say a prayer to the Gods for a good days filming . I first came to know that custom with my Bangkok filming where the table I work at was always decked out each morning with fresh offerings of flowers and incense for Buddah . For me it always worked and this time was no exception. I was happy to meet up again with Maybelline team in Taiwan and our two muses Emily Didonato and chinese celebrity Annie Chen .This was my...

On The Road Again

No I'm not on holidays yet. If you haven't heard from me it's just because I've been traveling and working non stop. After Paris shows I went to New York for American Vogue. I can't say much about the shoot as most editorials for famous magazines are very confidential until printed, but what was nice, I did get to visit the beautiful home of the celebrity we shot with in Southampton .I spent the 4th of July weekend with my friend Bibi Monnahan at her stone cottage . "Stonehare" sits... Read more...

A week of 6 flights in 7 days

View from my hotel room (Hong Kong)Great to be back in China especialy to meet Tang Wei again. We did a nice shoot for Pantene lots of chats, laughs and positive energy! It must also have to do with Hong Kong. Did you know that HK means Harbor of Perfumes in chinese? (Not sure the word perfume is well chosen anymore!) Tang Wei departed to LA where she is making a new film and I flew back to Paris just for a change of suitcase as the same evening I... Read more...

David Bowie is...

David Bowie is a "must see" exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum London with Bowie's private archives of decades on exquisite moments.David Bowie is…also a lot about hair. My contribution to the big star celebrations was on my recent shoot for Louis Vuitton. It's a haircut I did with a real kick from the 70's, better known back then as a "mullet or shag "cut.David Bowie and Jane Fonda are possibly the 2 artists that made this cut most popular. Here I made a mix of both the Bowie and... Read more...

Germany's Next Top Model - Final 2013

19000 people seated in one arena and televised live ! Thats a bit intimidating when I'd need to dash up on stage during commercial breaks to retouch Heidi's hair. There were light sources coming in from everywhere creating lots of shadows on Heidi's face, so we decided to simply tie her hair away in a clean chic ponytail. Problem solved, no more shadows. This made my job relatively easy, so I did get to enjoy my front row seat watching her show and the guest artists: Robin Thicke , Psy,... Read more...

Cannes Film Festival 2013

I was booked to spend the week with Heidi Klum when she invited me to join her for the Cannes Film Festival. We had a good time and she stood out as the great lady she is. Her hair was well commented on and I'm quiet proud for my work to be mentioned by the press amongst that show of designer dresses and millions $ jewelry .Staying at the famous Hotel du Cap where one of the functions was being held did help to be on site. Even so to... Read more...
