FEMALE COVER LOOK
THE MODEL
She keeps a relatively low profile, but the Brazil-born, Paris-based Amanda Sanchez is indispensable to the house of Chanel – she’s been the French maison’s in-house fit model since 2001. Every single look in every collection is fitted on her, making her essentially the prototype for the Chanel “fit”. And, yes, if you’re wondering: She walks in the brand’s runway shows too.
THE CREW BEHIND IT
The artistic Paris-based photographer David Paige – a favourite with independent labels and publications – was behind our cover story, assisted by Cyprien Bourrec. Hair and makeup maestro Mehdi R Guiba, a regular go-to in the French entertainment scene, and stylist assistant San Wen (Sanchez mostly styled herself) completed this compact team while Yellow Films Paris oversaw the production.
