The Coolest French Creatives to Follow on Instagram
Because it seems there is never a shortage of creative talent among the French.
Whether on the runway, in the kitchen or in the artist’s studio, it appears as though there is never a shortage of creative talent among the French. Monet, Jean-Luc Goddard, Coco Chanel; just to name a few who have pioneered some of the greatest artistic movements of our time. Decades later, they continue to inspire the rest of the world with their innovation. As social distancing is confining us to our homes, it’s becoming increasingly hard to monitor screen time while staying entertained. For that reason, L’Officiel USA created a streamlined list of the coolest French creatives to follow on Instagram that will make your feed-scrolling all the more fun and inspiring.
The pun on her Instagram handle is only the tip of the iceberg (Roman Polanski anyone?). Get ready for some vibrant, coloful, aesthetically-pleasing and funny content. She’s a photographer, video maker, and graphic designer, but mostly, she describes herself as a visual artist. This Paris-native creative director is full of personality and her account is anything but dull.
Although she is from Montreal (probably the North American city where the French feel the closest to home) this French-Canadian singer began her career as a model but turned to music after realizing modeling wasn’t her calling. Don’t let her doll-like features and big blue eyes fool you. Charlotte Cardin’s voice has a fragility, depth and soulfulness to it that makes her a singer of her own kind.
She’s the global beauty director of Estée Lauder and a world-renown makeup artist famous for her “bushy-brow” and “natural makeup” looks. If you like makeup but cut-creases, bold lip looks and a hint of home decor inspiration, Violette has the perfect account to give a follow.
Picture endless fields of daisies and poppies, Icelandic hot spings, sand deserts, and young girls dressed in white linens idling beneath trees. These are the kinds of visuals to expect from Betina du Toit, the Paris-based photographer whose work will lull you into a faraway universe. Born near Cape Town, South Africa, du Toit captures the quintessential in “an endless attempt to re-capture the fleeting moment when all elements come together.”
Paris-born, LA-bred Sonia is more than just a pretty face. The French fashion model, actress and singer is a true multihyphenate whose talents can be hard to keep up with. Her most recent work includes a newly-released single with Black Atlas that we currently have on repeat.
Former Dazed and Confused fashion editor, now, a freelance stylist and brand consultant Celestine Cooney has worked for the likes of Acne and Simone de Rocha. Her Salvador-Dali-meets-high fashion aesthetic is what sets Cooney apart from other stylists.
This well-known French couple share travel tips, fashion picks (which often include matching outfits) and let us into their Parisian daily life. Their shared Instagram account started 5 years ago, while the couple were living in Los Angeles with the desire to share their every day life after moving far from home, friends and family. They write on their website “Given the enthusiasm of our readers, we decided to pursue this adventure back home in Paris.”
Malika Favre is French but lives between London and Barcelona and her work has graced covers of The New Yorker and has been featured in Vogue. Her bold, minimal, style is often compared to pop art and she has become one of UK’s most sought-after graphic designers.
Born to a French mother and an Algerian father, Lolo Zouai, a 25-year-old singer released her debut album High Highs to Lows Lows , last year and has toured alongside side Dua Lipa during her Future Nostalgia tour. Her Instagram features not only her behind-the-scenes music recording process, but also her infectious love of dalmatians and the famed Pokémon, Jigglypuff.
Pomme, a French singer, with serious style refers to herself as “half pixie, half human”. Her Instagram gives you a taste of her music which is the perfect blend between pop and folk and is definitiely worth checking out for both your next playlist, and outfit inspiration.

Controversy, flock of presenters, show … What to expect from the 35th Victoires de la Musique?
Cette année, une édition particulière attend artistes et spectateurs. Moins de catégories, plus de présentateurs et de musique live. Programme.
Friday evening at the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt will be held the 35th Victories of Music ceremony . This year marks a real split with the previous editions in terms of content and many artists are expected. Here is everything you need to know about this event celebrating French-language music production.
Five categories are sidelined
For several years, artists could stand out and hope to win a trophy in categories representing their style. This year, it may get slightly complicated. The number of categories has been reduced from thirteen to eight, bringing together the different styles (rap, urban, rock, electro, world) under the single name of best album. The number of selected has increased from three to five per category. In addition, all the selected artists will perform on stage, whereas previously only the winners had this privilege.
More presenters than laureates
This year, France Télévision has decided to work hard to ensure the show. If on the one hand all the artists will perform, the in-between will not be outdone. Eleven animators were invited to pass the dishes live on February 14. In addition to the inevitable Michel Drucker, we are talking about Sophie Davant, Faustine Bollaert, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, Laurent Ruquier, Julian Bugier, Stéphane Bern, Bruno Guillon, Leïla Kaddour and Cyril Feraud. Without forgetting the incontrovertible Daphne Bürki. The Victoires de la Musique will therefore succeed this year in the tour de force of having more presenters than laureates.
Angela’s year
In 2019, the young Belgian has definitely established herself as a major figure in song. With her album Brol, then her reissue Brol, La Suite, Angèle Van Laeken has not ceased to shine, as evidenced by the Diamond records won. A committed feminist, it was with her song Balance ton quoi and the resulting clip directed by Charlotte Abramow that she was named for the best audiovisual creation. In 2019, Angèle is also a gigantic tour through France, Belgium, Canada and the United States, dozens of dates and shows full of energy that may earn her the prize for the “best concert” “. It is all these things that make the 24-year-old young woman in the running for the “female artist” of the year, and despite the strong competition from Clara Luciani and Catherine Ringer,
Choices that are controversial
The decision to remove gender categories is a difficult pill for some to accept . “Opening up was the way to be less Franco-French. It’s extraordinary, because at the moment the American and English charts are opening up to music from everywhere, “ regretted DJ Martin Meissonnier, producer of world music. “It is part of a systematic invisibility of gender” according to Éloïse Bouton, journalist and founder of Madame Rap, a media dedicated to women in hip-hop. “It’s a stab to rock, it’s like saying” we no longer have time to take risks “, because rock takes time”,deplores Julien Hohl, director of the Deaf Rock label and manager of the Last Train group. Musical styles are not the only ones to speak. The lack of ethnic diversity has largely reacted. “When we look at the list of nominees, we look in vain for a diversity of colors,” regrets saxophonist Manu Dibango. “Someone decided that it might be a little too colorful and that we had to come back to something whiter,” said Jacob Desvarieux, founding member of the Kassav group ‘.
