we can play to win
where we can play to change the
rules of the game as an entrepreneur
who also has a cause
I’m trying to do both and you’re going
see it’s not won advanced
my playground is the first fashion
prejudices precisely this is often seen
like something fun fun
light or even frivolous and it’s true the
mode is a game above all a game with
self that reinvents each
day to create a character played from
roles boost his self-confidence just
have fun with trends but see
it’s just like something fun
and dangerous because if fashion is a game
women are losers
simply because fashion has a
considerable impact on the image she
returns women
today this impact is globally
negative the beauty standards are
limitations excluding and creating
complex to everyone
men also water violence
injunctions is not quite
the same
but gentlemen I am addressing you here
you are also concerned yes yes you
I am a feminist now
fashion entrepreneurs is a subject that
Dear to my heart
by its creative aspect but also by
by my commitment
if I make a quick return on the
advances in terms of feminism the
last years of the current month of
last century
we have won a lot in right law
right to dispose of his body
must open a bank account or right
to practice the same profession as the
men ok we started from very very
very very low there is still some way
to do
of course you have to stay alert but
overall we are going in the right direction
paradoxically on other themes
Instead of gold daily including
the fashion
we did not really advance we even
rather remote since the 80’s 90
in fashion the trend of mannequins
in size 34 and a half while wet
photoshop all that does not really
helped to improve the image of
women who are rather defined before
everything by their body and only one form
body in fashion
we are in the everyday life on images
who are with us constantly and
it’s sometimes harder to measure
the impact of these images daily or
so we take this turning impact
measure the impact
in retrospect when I was 10
I was told that I looked like cindy
crawford because of the big model and I
I quickly realized that the
resemblance stopped at the grains of
beauty because cindy crawford she
had endless legs a belly
perfect me when I sat my
belly was making folds to you go to me
to say it’s normal the belly of all the
world wrinkles when he sits
so it’s a little silly as complex
and at the same time not that much because
that the folds on the bellies of the
mannequins we never see them there
does not exist either they are not
to photograph or so they are
photoshopped so next I got
found big and I made my first
diet at that age there good there I you
talk about weight but there is a whole bunch
of extraordinary injunction it’s a little
later when I was 12 years old I was
pointed out that I had hair on
arms that for a girl this was
not normal at all it was even
downright disgusting
and that I have really complex and in
do I’m going to wear long sleeves
all the time even in summer
luckily I grew up in Brittany
so you have to say it does it anyway
not very very beautiful summer so thanks
at the weather I think my complex
went unnoticed and it makes me laugh
today but it did not make me feel
laugh at all at the time and the link
with fashion and very direct because
all and all we build ourselves by
comparison looking around
am I ok ok I am
normal and to know if I’m beautiful
I look at the standard top models
good bah no then done normal but I
am not beautiful today I am 27 years old
I have more particular complexes that
ruin my life every day
however, as 92% of French
I do not feel beautiful that does not want
to say that we feel ugly but
collectively we are never enough
good not bad but not beautiful 92% it is
huge as it’s a figure that comes
of a study of offers that came out to
two years then we can say yes but
it’s a careful mark even if we
leave them a margin of error and
of exaggerations of patients it remains
far too much and it has impacts of
repercussions actually on our
daily on my daily small
repercussions as to no but there I
my hair no I do not look like anything
can not speak in public
like that who put end to end are going
have an impact or repercussions
heavier it still happens to me
say from time to time that I’m not
not beautiful enough to succeed and that’s
silly a game I hate myself when I
think like that but what are you
take your head on wef stuff
helpful but I ‘m not the only one I
see also on my friends it’s made of
25 years of fashion when you have to put
in swimsuit go out get done
take a picture not made up there is
two years a friend of mine told me
that she did not want to get married because
that she was not pretty enough
to be the center of attention any
a day
I hate myself when I think like that
and I hate all those reasons that
have made my girlfriends unhappy so
I could tell you about it during
hours because it’s important to
understand where it comes from but I believe
that our role is not just about
point the finger and show the
problem but also to act to find
solutions
basically be a game center I
believe that it is to act according to
beliefs without forgetting to be
pragmatic and adapted the solution to
problem typically if fashion is the
problem
do not just hit on fashion it takes
to make a different fashion more
inspiring positive that it means
also accepted the imperfection
no we can not do everything
perfectly but we roll up the
sleeves we say ok entrepreneurs
why not me and we go
that’s how I created ypsilon
which is the first French brand
feminist fashion vote feminists for
me it means several things before
everything working on the long term on
the image of women
of course it goes through the
representation of the bodies
obviously no retouching will arise the
question of what I give to see
as a brand I was talking to you all
at the time of my wrinkle problems on
the belly I discovered is not there
very long hashtag on instagram
which is called embrace the squid very
literal which therefore encourages women to
take pictures with their tracks
on the belly to show the
anatomical realities as a
feminist I think it’s great and
as a mark I tell myself if tomorrow I
make a short top next summer
and who can also contribute to
work on this picture there you lose
we do not go more important maybe
again for me it’s also on the long
term
convey the idea that mannequins and
women in particular are not
there just to look pretty
even in fashion they have
stories of opinions to share it’s
for that I will never casteret
woman for her flat or happy belly
besides but for what it is and
for what she does then I speak to you
women but recently I did
ask men too with this sweater girl
power
because I found it important to
convey a message to show that in
2017
feminism can be worn by the
women but also by men
literally but also wear their
convictions to question them and to make
portraits interviews and there we are
more in the long term we are in
the immediate we are in the daily and
the short term fashion can convey
a message but fashion lets you
free to choose if you have
want to see a cool slogan if you
want to have the curiosity to
ask why the mark did it is
what there is a process behind reading
the portraits the curiosity to talk to
your neighbor also fashion allows
to start the conversation
why you want this door pull over
gender it means what I am in
everyday life in the privacy of people
in their wardrobes in the street this is a
accessible medium that allows you to talk
to the greatest number while
leaving free
fashion has a long history of
change of vehicle and something
but it was not fashionable to dictate
what you need to think is the beginning
of a conversation to tell them like
it’s a game center in his
field I loved to present as
that’s great it looks very clear
at 100
the reality is also that I am
tired really I’m tired I
am tired of having to constantly
to enter a box of having to choose
my camp and justify myself constantly
business side it gives something
pretty much like that in my
miss is very good we feel
that you are moved by your commitment
your fight but do you
sure you want to make money
because here we talk business is
not an activist and asso side indulges
sometimes something like that
but you were feminists before where
these opportunists
because still instrumentalize
a cause to make money is
a bit limited and you do not find it
there are bigger fights the rape
pay inequalities black or
white always black I’m tired of
fight against French culture
against the culture of judgment a priori
even before I can fight for
my commitment with my creative ways
and yes by mounting a box I am
tired but I’m not alone
I believe we are more and more
Many want to be an entrepreneur
is also game center to
want to change things in fashion
in the food in education in the
health to question this
yes french freddy culture though
I am too
I too have the French Revolution
in inheritance I am a sans panties
in the soul I have long believed that the
change was the point lifted or
by the pen I made debates I
manifested I was in assault I
devoured the feminist pantheon I read
virginia despentes king kong theory and
punk feminism I loved I you
advise to read besides I made
of the line in with my friends on
sheryl sandberg’s corporate feminism
that I also advise you
I took the floor and I will continue to
speak the time it will take
but I think you have to go
to solutions and get out of this spirit
critical
I too criticized but it is not necessary
not to confuse critical thinking and
criticism anyway I would like
kind of that black and white that
collectively everyone does his part with
his means
unfortunately support a cause and
make money and still poorly perceived
so I say make money but
it’s about making money or wanting to
win because I remember that when
you put a box in the beginning actually
you do not win money you in
lose by the way you ‘re not even
surely win in the end good it’s a
investment
it’s a gamble a bet that has
meaning
no I will never be a unicorn I am
often defined as feminist
imperfect I think it’s time to
to say that I am also an entrepreneur
imperfect that we are
I hope more and more
contractors then not a
perfect but wins schengen because I you
asks for a thing refused to be put
in boxes be game challenger
thank you
[Applause]
