Dreamy black and white series with my dear @olyabuslova exploring body and mind connection 🫰🏻
« What does your body know about you that you don’t always consciously realize?
I think the body cannot lie and knows everything in ways we don’t even realise:
You say you’re fine, but your shoulders are tight and your breath is shallow.
You pretend to agree with someone, but your posture leans away from the conversation.
You speak calmly, but your tone carries tension underneath. » Shot in my favorite playground @somahouse.geneva
This series is about the body not as something to control, but as something to listen to.
Not as an object of discipline, but as a space of memory, instinct, strength and softness.
In these reflections, the body appears as deeply intelligent — honest in its signals, clear in its reactions, always a step ahead of the mind. It holds power in the core, softness in the chest, and truth in the smallest tensions, breaths and impulses.
What emerges here is a quiet understanding: inner balance is not a fixed state, but an ongoing process of attention. A conversation between body and soul. Between movement and stillness. Between care and awareness.
To listen to the body is, perhaps, to come closer to oneself.
Thank you, Sandrine @saandjo , for being part of this project and for sharing your reflections with such honesty and openness.

We meet Sandrine in Geneva. She is carrying our red Péline bag.
enSoie: What are your very first memories of clothes?
Sandrine: I remember trying on my mom's clothes from a very young age: the feel of different fabrics, the smells, and the fun of walking in heels with my little feet. It felt like a whole magnificent world waiting to be discovered.
enSoie: Do you think about colour a lot?
Sandrine: Muted colours are my instinct, but a dear friend introduced me to the idea of always adding something red. It gives an outfit energy, and I still think about that almost every day.
enSoie: What city or place has influenced how you dress?
Sandrine: Paris and Zurich have really shaped how I dress. The freedom and risk-taking of wearing whatever speaks to me comes from Paris, and the cleaner, boyish, oversized look from Zurich.
