The eye
comes first.
Born in Montreuil, 93. Roots in Oran, Algeria. Self-taught — not by default, by choice. The codes of this industry were never handed to me. I built them myself, frame by frame, the same way Kubrick built his shots and Kitano his silences. Growing up between La Haine and Raï, between Berserk and Alien, between Sade and hip-hop — that is where the eye was formed.
First show: Maison Margiela, under John Galliano — the penultimate collection he presented for the house. Before that, two years as collection coordinator for Margiela. Then Jacquemus — chef de cabine menswear, working directly alongside Simon for a season. The same discipline you feel watching De Niro prepare a role — total commitment, no shortcut.
Someone from the banlieue does not end up at Margiela and Jacquemus by accident. The Wire taught me how systems work from the inside. The Sopranos taught me elegance under pressure. Hurricane Carter taught me that conviction outlasts everything. That is the standard. That is what I bring to every image.
