I like Paul Eluard, Renell Medrano, laughing and wearing chunky jewelry.
IN A NUTSHELL
My name is Sandra, I’m 23, and I am currently completing the final year of my Master’s in Digital Marketing at IESEG Paris, where I am enrolled in a work-study program at Jean Paul Gaultier as a Communications and PR Assistant. Most of my free time goes into MAARS, my online magazine, which I launched in November 2022.
I have always been passionate about fashion—I feel as if I was born in a vintage suit, with feet slipping around in oversized J.M. Weston shoes. My father is a true sapologue, so I suppose the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. Today, I am driven to contribute a polycentric perspective on fashion and the arts, documenting brands and creatives who embrace and express their multicultural identities.
But it’s not all about fashion! I also love shooting film photography and painting.

My role also involves assisting stylists on various styling projects (editorials, events...), from selecting garments to sending them out and returning them. Finally, I carry out global missions such as taking part in VIP appointments, co-managing ready-to-wear inventories and monitoring the market.

Next Talk
Les rencontres du Kebab Littéraire : mode & poésie
I will participate in a conversation about clothing, its political implications and its ability to make us dream. How can we design without exploiting or destroying? How can we find a style that resonates with our desires, when we're torn between the labels that society places on us? How can we talk about committed fashion? This discussion will be led by Claire Roussel, journalist and author specializing in feminist issues and responsible fashion.
