Elisa, you’re a striking French model, a very beautiful girl. Tell us about yourself and your career.
Born and raised in Paris, I started modeling at the age of sixteen. I was lucky to travel a lot and had the opportunities to work and collaborate with great artists. I did campaigns for Aubade Paris, L’Oréal, Chaumet, and many other brands. I had publications in Marie Claire Italia, Treats, Playboy US, Schön! Magazine and others. When the growing impact of social media became obvious to me, I started sharing my daily life on Instagram and became a content creator.

«Yes, I am happy, and I am infinitely grateful for everything in my life»
You have an original style. And what do you think of timeless fashion?
Thank you 🙂 For me, timeless fashion is clothes that will never go out of style.
Timeless pieces are classic (neutral tones, blazers…), elegant and well-made. Quality is very important to me. It’s the perfect alternative to fast fashion and your choice can become an investment. Iconic items like a Chanel or Hermes bag, for example, are always in style and last forever.

Are you a happy woman? How do you define happiness and female self-sufficiency?
Yes, I am happy, and I am infinitely grateful for everything in my life. Happiness is a lifelong process and I’m working on my personal development. For me, it’s about getting a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise to minimize my stress level and have good energy. Eating fresh and nourishing food. Spending time with good people and trying to not pay attention to negative people by avoiding toxic relationships. Practicing positive self-talk and visualization. Setting my goals and trying my best to achieve them.

«Last year, I went to learn Interior design at a school in Paris and I really enjoyed it»
Tell us how you like to spend time outside of work, and what you dream about.
When I am off duty, I love to spend time outdoors, in nature walking by the sea or in the forest with my husband and our two dogs. I also have a passion for architecture and design. Last year, I went to learn Interior design at a school in Paris and I really enjoyed it. I decorated my house in Deauville and our apartment in Paris. So now I’m planning to work as an interior designer and continue being a fashion and beauty influencer.
