We heard you just got back from a special summer shoot in Marseille for Princesse tam tam. How did it go? Could you share a little anecdote with us?

Sure! It was wonderful. The weather was lovely despite the mistral wind that intruded on the shoot and was not exactly friendly to my bangs!

The three of you are young women, all very different yet all very contemporary. Is diversity of style something that is important to you? Friendship? Sisterhood?

Naturally, it's even better to be able to share unique moments together with friends by mixing our styles.

How would you describe your own personal style in three words?

Colourful, comfortable, and versatile.

What provides you energy and drive on a daily basis?

My coffee.

For you, summer is synonymous with... ?

Lazing around, having a drink with friends, in Corsica of course, and lots of swim suits.

If you could only take five things, clothes or otherwise, in a suitcase to an unknown holiday destination, what would you pack?

Swim suits, disposable camera, a good book, a shirt/shorts combo, and my little dog!

If you were given the choice, right now, where would you go?

To Ile Rousse quite simply, my home village in Corsica.

You probably need to travel a lot for your work, whether it's near or far. Do you have any tips on how to travel light while still being prepared for all eventualities?

I cannot offer any advice at all. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to travel light! However, I do think you should go for the classics, simple items that can be easily mixed and matched to suit any occasion!

What is your favourite thing about Princesse tam tam? Why does this brand appeal to you? Is there something about its very philosophy that resonates with the woman you are?

Princesse tam tam is representative of my evolution as a woman. When I was a teenager, my mother treated me to their beautiful pyjamas and my first lingerie items. It became my reference and a discreet testimony to my life as a woman.

A favourite model of ours? A must-have item or something you've been eyeing?

I really like one-piece swim suits and frilly panties!

We heard you just got back from a special summer shoot in Marseille for Princesse tam tam. So how was it?

It was really nice. A photo shoot in the sun by the sea, what more could anyone ask for?

The three of you are young women, all very different yet all very contemporary. Is diversity of style something that is important to you? Friendship? Sisterhood?

Obviously, stylistic diversity is really important to me, as is friendship and sisterhood. It is through our diversity that we become more complete and able to learn from others and from life. It creates bonds and opens the mind.

How would you describe your own personal style in three words?

Feminine, chic, retro.

What provides you energy and drive on a daily basis?

Being consistent in my wellness routine (meditation, gratitude, and such), spending time with my boyfriend, listening to music, dancing, and doing things that keep me in a good mood.

For you, summer is synonymous with... ?

Happiness and good humour.

If you could only take five things, clothes or otherwise, in a suitcase to an unknown holiday destination, what would you pack?

A good book, a camera, a swim suit, sunglasses and my sun cream.

If you were given the choice, right now, where would you go?

To Bali, I've never been there and it's always been a dream.

You probably need to travel a lot for your work, whether it's near or far. Do you have any tips on how to travel light while still being prepared for all eventualities?

Unfortunately, I really don't know how to travel light, so I would love some advice!

What is your favourite thing about Princesse tam tam? Why does this brand appeal to you? Is there something about its very philosophy that resonates with the woman you are?

There is a notion of freedom, simplicity, and elegance here that I very much enjoy.

Liberty print swim suits.
