The portrait
Between days at the studio, gourmet detours, and accessories that make all the difference, style is often built in the little details. In this interview, we discover a way of dressing that places as much emphasis on comfort as on personal expression.
Here are some of the pieces, habits, and inspirations that shape her daily life.
The Eve Gravel piece that accompanies her most at the office
If you had to choose just one category of Eve Gravel clothing to wear every day, it would be the skirt without hesitation.
Long skirts hold a special place in her wardrobe. Last year, it was the Jeanne skirt. This year, she is notably turning to Arabia and Isabelle. Regardless of the model, the skirt remains an essential piece.
What she particularly likes is its versatility. A skirt can be feminine or more androgynous depending on how it is worn. It also allows you to play with proportions and give more volume to a silhouette.
And above all, there is that little theatrical side it brings to an outfit: the famous "drama" of a long skirt.
She even likes to take the game further by wearing a long skirt over pants. A way to layer clothes and create an even more different silhouette.
The gourmet detour on the way to the studio
Coffee is generally not on the agenda. At the studio, a beautiful espresso machine is already waiting for her. But there is still a stop worth making: the Louise bakery.
Her little pleasure? An apple turnover. And there is another good reason to stop there: the pastries from the day before are sold at half price.
Although the apple turnover is better when it just comes out of the oven, she nevertheless has a very clear preference for the one from the day before. According to her, like some dishes that seem even better the next day, pastries can also gain in flavor with a little time.
A little pleasure to savor on the way… or to save for later in the day.
The accessories that make all the difference
For her, accessories are never a last-minute thought. They are an integral part of the outfit.
She particularly loves "a little funky" socks, which allow you to add a touch of personality even when wearing a more sober outfit. Scarves are also among her favorite accessories, notably worn over the shoulders.
Shoes also hold an important place in the composition of a look. In her eyes, they are much more than a practical element: they fully count as an accessory and can completely transform a silhouette.
And then, there are the jewelry pieces. Rings, earrings, and ear cuffs are always present, with a preference for silver. Nails also play a role in the overall look.
Ultimately, it is the little details that give an outfit all its personality: a scarf, jewelry, beautiful nails, a pair of colorful socks, or even a shoe that draws attention.
The color of the moment: a neutral base, with pops of color
When looking at her wardrobe, certain colors come back constantly: black, gray, different shades of green, and a lot of beige.
Beige is, moreover, one of her favorite bases. But even when an outfit remains very neutral, she likes to add a little touch of color.
This color can appear in different ways: a T-shirt, a pair of socks, or, why not, a skirt.
Colorful skirts are particularly interesting for this. A piece like Arabia, in a vibrant color, can become the focal point of an outfit while remaining easy to pair with more sober pieces.
And sometimes, color is played out in the details. A green shirt accompanied by green socks, for example, is enough to create a subtle and coherent echo in the silhouette.
Whether it is a skirt, a pair of funky socks, or a pastry eaten on the way to the studio, style is also built in the little pleasures of everyday life.
