Fashion, the Alpine Way

Editorials from the French-Swiss Alps

Fashion Within the Landscape

After years of seeing fashion through an editor’s eye, I now create from within the story — both behind and in front of the camera.

Based in the French–Swiss Alps, I create editorial fashion stories where clothes become part of the landscape — photographed through the seasons, everyday life and the places around me.

From the Editor’s Desk

Before moving into independent editorial storytelling, I spent years working in fashion publishing, including as Editor-in-Chief, creating and directing fashion stories with photographers, stylists, models and creative teams.

Today, I bring that editorial eye into a different setting — the French–Swiss Alps.

Here, I work across creative direction, visual storytelling, talent and photography, creating fashion imagery shaped by landscape, season and everyday life.

Alongside my editorial practice, I hold a Master’s degree in Engineering and work as a technical writer — another side of my work shaped by language, structure and precision.
