Having just finished the production for Dior's Christmas advertisement campaign, what better time to look back on her career and get a glimpse of her future projects ?
"One of the Christmas campaigns for Dior was a technical challenge. We reproduced the iconic frame of the Dior quilted fabric using LED tape, meticulously working to meet very short deadlines as always. Because Christmas themed projects are always filmed out of season, the suppliers didn't receive their stock of Christmas decorations, which created a great treasure hunt for my team and I : finding five kilometers of golden white garland with an exact diameter of five centimeters. Challenge accepted!” - comments Louise, showing us her positive attitude in any situation.
