    [26] Mathias OHREL - Inside the journey of a Headhunter | Fashion Career Lab with Lucas SILVA EDWARDS

    Mathias OHREL is a well known Headhunter in the fashion and luxury industry, with more than 14 years of experience.

    I wanted to talk to Mathias and understand his personal journey and get a sense of what makes a great headhunter today.

    In this conversation, Mathias tell us about the vision on which is has built his company, why he is now going beyond fashion and entering the world of culture & entertainment.

    Beyond the business man, what has touched me the most in this conversation, is Mathias’ passion, to really discover himself through all the different jobs he has done. Giving him, a unique point of view and probably an edge when it comes to understand the different brands him and his team work for.

    In my opinion this conversation is a source of inspiration for any professional which desire working at the cross-road of business, creation and beauty.

    His story is full of turns and twists, with plenty of insight on how to break in the fashion industry.

    [21] - Christelle Bakima | The truth about Black Models in the Fashion Industry | Fashion Career Stories with Lucas SILVA EDWAR

    Today, I have the great pleasure to receive Christelle BAKIMA



    She is a fashion professional working in PR for one the french fashion tech company: ARIANEE.

    If you haven’t heard about them, I highly recommend to check it out an discover what are they doing regarding the new generation of customer relationship, using web 3 and NFT.

    However today, my conversation with Christelle won’t be about her role over there.



    Today we are  going to talk about her first book, Corps Noirs, which could be translated in english as “Black Bodies”. Before I tell you all about it, let me tell you about its origin story. It all started by a simple question:



    How many black women have been on the covers of fashion magazine in the last 15 years ?



    And from that question, an entire journey started for Christelle.

    First, it became her master thesis for the IFM where she graduated 3 year ago.

    And with the support of friends and family, it became an entire book.

    From that question, Christelle started to investigate the reality to be a black model in the fashion industry! the history, the stereotype, the prejudice and also the human cost.

    Through this book, Christelle shine a light on, what we could call the dark of the industry.



    However, this book goes way beyond that.



    It’s first and foremost, the questions of a young professional trying to make sense of what she sees, discovers and experience. This book, it’s also really intimate, full of personal anecdotes and stories.



    For me, it was an opportunity to ask myself more questions, to increase my awareness and to open my eyes on some of the realities of our industry.



    In this episode, you will learn about :


    The origin story of the book
    How Christelle decided to think about this book as art book
    What Aya Nakamura is telling us about the status quo of the fashion industry regarding black bodies
    The reality of being a black model and the prejudice that they experience
    The type of questions you could start asking yourself in order to make things evolve
    The role of your family in the journey to find yourself
    The importance to experiment and to learn from a large diversity of experience
    How to network using generosity and vulnerability
    Why allowing yourself to doubt and try things out is the best advice you could follow

    This episode is dense, and full of gems.

    My recommendation, take your time to listen to it and to self reflect.



    And if you want to buy the book, only available in French, you can find it on Amazon, la Fnac and the major books stores in France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
