Have a nice Sunday my little cats!

Today I'm sharing with you the continuation of our collaboration with YSL beauté. The first story was an opportunity to step into the shoes of Monsieur Saint Laurent's famous muses. And for this shoot, the idea was to reinterpret the Saint Laurent style of today. It's a tricky one, because over the last few decades the house has changed artistic directors more than once, but since Hedi Slimane took over, the style is much more radical, and I think he's keen to feel the times as Monsieur Saint Laurent could. While his predecessors have long reinterpreted the brand's emblematic codes, Slimane innovates and seizes the style of his time with passion.

In the first photo, I'm wearing a shirt Alain Figaretvinyl jacket Mademoiselle Ra pair of pants Comptoir des Cotonniers and shoes Texto. In the photo on the left I'm wearing a Comptoir des Cotonniers suit, Louboutins and a polka-dot shirt. R essential. And on the right I'm wearing a shirt and a teddy jacket Mademoiselle R. 

With Pauline Darley it was obvious: we had to do black and white for this shoot, colors that are nonetheless a signature of the new Saint Laurent era. So I tried to imagine rockier looks, to get out of my comfort zone a little, more feminine silhouettes and at the same time "party girl" outfits. Because although the Saint Laurent style is terribly dark, we often find shiny materials, glitter dear to my heart... In fact, it was during this shoot that I fell in love with Saint Laurent at first sight. my wedding dress wedding dress.

 This incredible lipstick is the Rouge Pur Couture The Mats N°206 Grenat Satisfaction !

It was a real pleasure to work with such an inspiring team. Emilio, whom I'd met to work on make-up looks before the shoots, had in mind very smoky, glossy eyes, even with perfect skin! I've got a real skin obsession at the moment, and I've discovered some products I can't live without, like skin ink and a lipstick-shaped concealer I'll tell you about below. Emilio, the make-up artist, was a real pleasure to work with. As well as giving me a porcelain complexion, he made me howl with laughter, making me act like an actress to get into the skin of these different women. I don't really have the attitude to see myself as fatal! You have to imagine me exploding with laughter between each pose...
