a 1000 invitations daily as normalcy (chapeau) as well as being commissioned for special projects imagery for the Louvre, or a one of a kind invitation to a wedding in Bordeaux for Grace Jones, or mirrored invites for a glittery lunch for Lancome in Cape Ferrat (Cannes Film Festival galore).
imagine …
