Passementerie, the fine art of detail in haute couture

Catherine Deydier is a journalist who works for publications such as Le Figaro, Vogue Hommes International, major home decor magazines such as Maison Française, AD, and French publishing houses. A specialist on French lifestyle, she retraces the steps of the greatest designers and reveals their inspiration and techniques. A protean artist, Alexandre Réty has developed a passion for urban landscapes and stunning perspectives. He creates installations and composes images with geometric, near-abstract rhythms, which he animates in real time during festivals. In the realm of studio photography, Alexandre’s experience in luxury products has led him to work with a variety of prominent brands and designers: Declerq Passementiers, Chaumet, Zenith, PH Collection. The grandchild of a gourmet chef, Alexandre naturally found a path to food photography, which in turn led him to a collaboration with top French chefs such as Alain Ducasse, Marc Veyrat, and Régis Marcon.
