When I was barely two my mom let me push her out of her bedroom one day. She was curious so she ran outside the house so she could watch me through the window. I climbed up on a chair by her vanity and started putting on her makeup. I loved playing dress up as a kid. Putting on my mom's sequin tube tops and high healed shoes and then putting on a dance show in the lobby or the restaurant of the hotel/residence we lived in when I was four to eight, was the best childhood ever. Dress-up, dancing, barbies and drawing were my favorite things to do. I have not changed one bit today.
I had one of the best jobs ever as the creative director of a lifestyle magazine in NY. I got to art direct fashion and mixology still life shoots and then I got to layout everything in a beautiful magazine. It was awesome.
Now I am in Paris for the second time of my life and I am having a ball playing with my partner in crime Julien. We don't stop creating. We design t-shirts and clothes and come up with crazy photo shoots. Recently we went to see an exhibit at quai Branly. I of course took it as an opportunity to get dressed up and we had so much fun shooting pictures with the African and Asian masks and climbing into the long grass in the museum gardens.
FRENCH COWBOY is born of the shared love of julien crouigneau and mia macfarlane of photography.
