Sekhou and Éva's look - Le Marais Mood | Street Style in the Marais

Was it the heat? In any case, on this almost tropical day (27°, end of March!), on the banks of the Seine, this couple dazzled us, bewitched us.

Her: porcelain complexion and a certain je ne sais quoi of Béatrice Dalle in 37,2° in the morning.
Him: just as sunny, ebony color, dazzling smile and the sex appeal of a Mandingo warrior.

We weren't surprised to learn that this pair of friends were models and actors.

Éva, who was assumed to be Slavic, was in reality a perfect Kabyle, Mongolian and Spanish “mix”! Arriving in Paris at 16, her beginnings were not easy.

“At first,” says this pretty, leggy girl, “it was very hard, I lived with my best friend in 9m2, then I started taking photos and then I met my artistic agent.” “She trusted me and in October I landed my first role in a short film (Caillou by Mathilde Poymiro),” says the actress who admires David Lynch, Federico Fellini and Andreï Tarkovsky. When it comes to fashion, she only dresses in thrift stores.

Sekhou is inspired by the 1970s and 1980s. The era of his idol, the Nigerian musician Fela Anukulapo Kuti, the singer, saxophonist, conductor and politician. Whose young man inherited the spirit of an agitator and a very sixties wardrobe.

Of Senegalese and Sierra Leonean parents, Sekhou was destined to be an imam, like his father and grandfather. But the young man trained in musical comedy at the Opéra-comique chose his own path: “It will be modeling, theater, singing, contemporary dance and later a marriage with a Malian! », says with mischief the young man who we saw in the Céline, Kitsuné, Louis Vuitton and Isabelle Marant campaigns.

YOU HAVE IT (STREET)LOOK COCO

David's look

The look of Ufo, Jeff and Juno

Le Marais is the district of encounters and chance. At the turn of a street, we come across beings with unique character and beauty. Here we are in front of Jeff, a DJ, model and graphic designer.

NOW ON
THE MOOD MARSH

Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame

Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.

Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo

Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.

Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May

The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
