01 - Social-first film - fashion week

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2025

The brief
Turn a show week with no media budget into something people would share on their own.
What was made
A single social-first film cut on the floor between shows, built around one hair moment rather than the runway.
My role
Concept, film, edit - went viral

02 - Campaign - creative direction

The Volume Voyage

The brief
Launch a volume range with a visual idea that reads instantly in a feed, at thumbnail size.
What was made
The airport security tray as campaign set: product laid out like carry-on, shot vertical for social and web.
My role
Creative direction, concept, art direction

03 - Trend series - editorial social

Spotted - Milan Fashion Week

The brief
Give a hair brand a reason to be in the fashion week conversation, season after season.
What was made
A repeatable series that spots the hair trends coming out of Milan, filmed on the street and cut for the feed.
My role
Format, film, edit, hosting

    Social & content strategy

Nº 003 - Manifesto

We believe great campaigns begin with an idea, not a tool. Taste before trend. Direction before execution. A quiet confidence that lets the work speak - softly, and for a long time.

It's not you. It's your social media behaviour.
