Two IHECS students published in a New York fashion magazine
Alexandre Michel and Kelly Florensa, both in their second year of a bachelor's degree, form a dynamic duo. They have combined their passion for styling and communication to give life to their styling agency, Arachne. This project was born when Alexandre and Kelly discovered their common interest in fashion. Indeed, both have several years of experience in styling and modeling. Their shared love for fashion and their ambition to make a career in this sector led them to found the Arachne agency, specialising in photo and audiovisual shoots.
Within their agency, Alexandre and Kelly collaborate closely with photographers and makeup artists to create and coordinate outfits that highlight products or visual concepts. Their knowledge of styling and communication allows them to develop a clear and impactful artistic direction for each project. Their universe transcends borders, as evidenced by the trust placed in them by the New York magazine Chicle Mag last autumn. Indeed, this magazine published a photo of the Arachne agency, both within its phyiscal pages and on its Instagram account, thus demonstrating the international recognition of their work.
The choice to continue their studies at IHECS is no coincidence. After studying fashion design and pattern making for two years at Francisco Ferrer, Alexandre opted for a more versatile degree that emphasises communication in the context of fashion. Kelly, for her part, decided to reorient herself towards communication after a year at ULB in Solvay, realising that her professional aspirations lay in the field of fashion and communication.
Alexandre and Kelly have great ambitions for the future: they aspire to make their passion their profession and to live from their art. Currently, they collaborate with photographers who are linked to press houses. The photos are then sent to magazines in the hope of seeing them published.
Together, Alexandre and Kelly embody the entrepreneurial and creative spirit that characterises the new generation of fashion professionals. Their inspiring journey and determination to achieve their dreams make them promising figures to follow in the fashion and visual arts industry.
