Singular and discreet, Louise Boujenah is a meeting that we do not forget. As Anne Barratin once said, "There are pretty eyes that move, that play with expression, that whisper, that give to read, that send kisses like mouths." Louise did not know that she had beautiful eyes.

Child of artists, Louise was born in 2000. She grew up between Saint Paul de Vence and Paris, close together and hidden from view, in a family tenderness that she says is the anchor that later allowed her to spread her wings.

As early as kindergarten, her distinction was attributed to her difference -&nbsp;her dyspraxia, an object of rejection that was sometimes total and often furious. For a long time, she was comforted by the idea of incomprehension of prejudices.&nbsp;

Through&nbsp;her passion for the horse, she did not seek to overcome but to share her deep emotions and her need for human expression. She remembers that she wanted to ride horses even before she wanted to walk.

Louise does not seek strength. She is not interested in resistance. She creates to keep what her weakness has given her,&nbsp;sharing the beauty, as the shortest way to present&nbsp;her vision of humanity. &quot;If you don&#39;t feel, you miss out on everything&quot; Louise quotes. Creating is her thing. Beyond her artistic heritage, Louise draws from her emotions, her depths, her senses, her intuitions, and does not lack imagination. She mixes materials, assembles them, recycles them, and imagines them in the universe. She tells herself, that she knows, that as she experiments, she transcends in her own resilience.&nbsp;

She learns that she has beautiful eyes. She finally dares and understands that she can be everything, she can be whole, and above all be an eclectic artist to whom no borders are imposed.&nbsp;

Passionate about fashion, she wanted to pose, parade, create, collaborate with photographers and artists, in order to inspire beauty in the antechamber of her passions, to mix charm and humor.

It was love at first sight that convinced her to do her first haute-couture shoot under the eye of the photographer Greg Alexander and directed by Sebastien Vienne.&nbsp; They met in Cannes and inspired her for her first walk up the steps. She will wear a white suit with angel wings designed by &quot;La M&eacute;tamorphose&quot; - the fashion house of two sisters, young designers of Polish origin. Louise inspires a true fairy tale. Tinker Bell,&nbsp;the ringing of whose bells is understandable only for those who know the language of fairies&hellip;

Louise, you are studying Art, can you tell me what it means to you?&nbsp;

Louise Boujenah: Art saved my life. It is there that I found, with the horse, of course, my place to express myself freely, to be able to externalize my emotions. Both teach me rigor, concentration, the right measures... Art for me is the impression of giving life to creatures. Then I like to fill people with colors. I like colors - blue is my favorite color! Water, nature, in an abstract form, are frontal and generous. It is a possibility for me of giving something, where each one can feel in their own way, positive or negative.&nbsp;What counts is to feel and share. When I walk around museums, I look for that myself. I don&#39;t want to be brutal, but I admit to being an animal. I love Garouste, how he expresses his bipolarity and tames it in his art.

For this session, you wanted your mother, Isabelle Luzet, to share some of her work, can you tell me why?

It all started with Mom. I saw her cutting hair, transforming faces, working on volumes. She would draw in front of me and then she started to sculpt. Her sculpture &quot;the heart of hope&quot;, representing a small angel with its wings turned towards the sky, was to be with me on this shooting.

And from your works in this session, the first one evokes the pain?

Yes, 3 pains. Dyspraxia, the breakup, and growing up.

&nbsp;

And the hearts?

It&#39;s after a breakup, the rebirth is what I have in front of me.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

What is your vision of fashion?

I would have loved to live in the &#39;30s because women were chic, refined, delicate. Their outfits were fluid yet extravagant for the time. Clean lines, sharp waists.&nbsp;Also the shiny necklaces! I also like the 60&#39;s. For me, it represents the beginning of the women&#39;s revolution, silhouettes that break the codes, crazy cuts, big belts, I love it!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Is there anything else you would like to add for your generation?

Yes, be positive, feel good about yourself, and your body. Live in the present but learn, discover, don&#39;t be afraid.
