My name is Nami, I live in Paris, and I've been working in fashion for seven years.
I produce, cast and model.
I got into plus size modelling by chance.
There's a big trend right now focused on women with different body types.
So, I'm happy to be part of this new movement.
Here, we are in the 11th arrondissement.
So, my man and I found a rather atypical loft.
My friends describe it in several ways.
Some think it's like a shack.
Others also think it has the architecture of a boat.
For me, it's just our little country house,
but in Paris.
So, we found this flat by complete chance,
on Gens de Confiance.
The flat is divided into three levels: we have a Japanese garden.
The owner lived in Japan for 14 years, this was his former sculpture studio,
which he decided to divide into different flats.
And I'm very happy.
We also haven't lived here long; we've been living here for six months.
We feel great here, we've found our safe haven.
We used to live in a small flat in Buttes-Chaumont.
And for me, it was very important to have my friends over,
have dinners, because I love setting a beautiful table.
I also love putting on disco music and dancing and sometimes,
we take the table away to have a little dance floor.
There are five or six of us, and we're having fun.
It was important for it to be a living space.
I found this table on Selency, a vintage shop.
It's from the 60s or 70s, I don't remember.
It's made in France.
I needed to get some light on this table,
to give it a very theatrical feel, because it's really a moment for sharing.
And so I thought it was really important to have a lamp in the shape of a bow
to light up the table, which is the centrepiece of this space.
In the morning, we love having breakfast,
just the both of us, watching this show with the birds singing,
coming over to feed.
Sometimes we get woken up by the blackbirds.
It really feels like we're in the countryside.
It's really pleasant.
We are very lucky to have a place like this.
And then, there's this library,
which really has all the elements representing my man and me.
So this is a photograph I found in a magazine,
and then, there are all these things that are kind of like lucky charms;
the demijohn.
I love putting flowers, because I think flowers,
for me, are very important.
Then there's another photograph of Quentin in black and white.
There's his whole collection of Dragon Ball and Nicky Larson.
So this is an object that represents my union with Quentin.
We wanted to depict our love through a mixture of sand.
So the colour black is for me and the colour white
is for him and the red one, passion, is the symbol of our love.
And then there's this mirror where I look at myself every morning,
where I also take my little selfies.
Every morning, I get dressed according to my mood.
Sometimes I have a sad mood.
Sometimes I have a super happy mood, super sunny.
So I decide to put some colours on.
But I'm more into 70s fashion,
because for me, that whole period - Studio 54, disco -,
was a time for freedom,
be it the freedom of bodies, freedom of clothes,
or freedom of thought.
And I think it really fits my style and my personality.
The truth is, we've been locked up for so long.
I want to express myself with many colours.
I want to be lively, happy and joyful,
full of sunshine, life and summer.
I'm in the mood for that right now.
So here, we're in the upper part of the flat.
So we're in the living room.
I wanted to represent a very cosy part,
hence the big white sofa where you can have at least four guests.
This is a set of furniture that we found on Le Bon Coin,
where I put everything that has to do with culinary art.
So, my tablecloths, my napkins, the candlesticks, it's really all in there.
They're kind of my treasures.
This is my little scent temple.
We got this at a little flea market, I thought it was so cute.
And precisely because I like to think of it as my temple of scents,
I wanted to represent it with these little objects that I like.
These are Murano lights that I got from a friend,
who's been bargain-hunting a lot of beautiful vintage pieces, so I love it.
I thought it was nice to bring in feminine curves
in the flat and that it matched well with this lamp.
And this lamp, I got it on my 28th birthday from all my mates
and it was for my first flat.
I'm going to keep it all my life, it's my lamp.
My man used to take pictures when he lived in New York.
And this is a picture he took, which I think is so beautiful.
And then there's a lot of furniture too that we got from my man's grandmother.
This furniture is one of several pieces of furniture that we got.
And actually, this is the bar.
So, I put all the nice glasses here.
For example,
these are beautiful smoked glasses that I bought in a shop,
which is right next to the house I love.
They always have these really tiny pieces, beautiful little gems.
It's called Lux Perpetua.
And then, this is our wedding present, which is so cute.
Actually, my man's mother used to work in a gallery on rue de Lille,
and in fact, for our wedding, she gave us these two little wonders,
which I love very much.
So I prefer to keep them nice and safe in my little console tables.
So now, we're in my office.
So, this is kind of my favourite place in the flat.
Since I'm a freelancer, I spend a lot of time in the office.
There's my whole collection, Vogue magazines from my time, 2009 to 2012.
For example, this one, I love it, with Kate Moss.
I think it's beautiful, the posture, the setting is really, really cool.
I love this picture because my man gave it to me.
Actually, it represents one of my icons, which is Grace Jones
but it's Grace Jones in the Simpson style.
So, I think it's quite funny.
That's a key element, at least in this library.
And then, I have the Vogue 90 ans d'audace.
It's mainly about women, the sensuality of the female side,
the movements, a woman's body, her clothes.
And on top of that, there are iconic photos like this one from Guy Bourdin,
which I really like.
And sometimes I look at the old magazines, because I really think
that there are things that you can pick up for today.
Even sometimes, when I'm not sure about what I'm going to wear,
I look at it, because it really inspires me.
Fashion is really something that has always fascinated me,
especially the relationship with clothing.
For me, it's a means of expression, I don't know,
I felt comfortable in that environment.
Also, you would always meet lots of people.
I love meeting people, sharing things.
I think that today, in fashion, there's a lot to do,
such as the way we source materials.
It's already done more and more, it gives everybody the opportunity,
for example, to have a fashion show
and to express themselves through advertising campaigns.
So I think it's very, very cool and very important.
And I think we could still push it further.
I hope everybody can feel comfortable wearing fashionable clothes,
clothes that also fit every body type,
whether it's for women or men.
