The Making Of A Dress

For the last two months, I’ve been working on this project ‘The Making Of A Dress‘.  It is my very first full video I’ve ever made, after I’ve been doing some tests to get the video making skills. Sakina and I adore the old Hollywood style and we wanted to create a black and white video for her special and glamorous project, in collaboration with Marie Claire Arabia. Sakina designed an Haute Couture dress for French actress Hafsia Herzi, who was on the red carpet of Festival de Cannes for the closing ceremony.

Or watch it on the Marie Claire Arabia website here. (They added a white filter on the video for the Arabic subtitles)

ELLE Arabia – Sakina Paris

Ever since I joined the Sakina Paris team, I have been photographing inside the atelier besides being Sakina’s assistant. This week we planned a special photoshoot: a digital and printed article for ELLE Arabia. Lucky me, Sakina wanted me to take her portraits. Our lovely make-up artist Nora Kourkis from Sweden joined us for the shooting day, and created the most beautiful make up on Sakina.

Photographing and filming are two jobs close to each other. Sakina gave me the chance to edit the video, even though I had no experience in editing. The video is filmed by Manuel Laurent, and the interview is filmed by me.

You can read the article (in Arabic) here.

Chantilly Rallye d’Aumale 2017

The weekend of 9 april 2017 couldn’t be better by visiting the Polo & Rally event in Chantilly together with my friends and new teammates of polo Team Architects. A perfect Sunday with no clouds, only blue sky, relaxing atmosphere and stunning outfits walking by while watching the polo match and the oldtimer cars arriving from their rally concours. A bottle of cold champagne is popped open after the picnic lunch. How much fun was this day! I feel happy and blessed. When we drove back home to Paris, we listened to Take on me – Aha and to the following song of Nina Simone:

Sakina Paris – Une Forêt d’Automne

Last monday, January 23d 2017, during Paris Fashion Week, Sakina presented her new couture collection at the royale suite of the Westin hotel in Paris. This time Une Forêt d’Automne, what ‘An Autumn Forest‘ means was presented by a collection of 8 models. The masterpiece, in the middle, is a dress made out of 7000 pieces of leather, all cut by hand. That’s what I love about couture: every dress has been made by craftsmanship, patients and a big sense of passion.
