THE ARTISTRY OF VALERIE B.
Bordeaux — Paris — International
A career defined by two decades of international artistry.
Born to two couturiers — my father a tailleur de costumes by trade — I grew up immersed in the discipline of couture before building my own path through the fashion capitals of New York, Los Angeles, London and Paris — a journey that shaped my eye for technical precision and effortless elegance alike.
Now based in Bordeaux, I bring that global experience — from film sets to editorial shoots to royal engagements — into a bespoke service for a discerning clientele.
HERITAGE & PEDIGREE
Born into a family of couturiers, I inherited an instinct for craftsmanship long before I trained for it. That instinct was later forged into technique through a prestigious apprenticeship at John Frieda in London, followed by advanced studies at the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. This fusion of design sensibility, photography, styling and hair artistry allows me to offer a truly holistic approach to beauty — where every detail, from the first sketch to the final look, is meticulously considered for the lens or the red carpet.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERTISE
To meet the exacting standards of high fashion and film, I specialized in HD makeup at the London Film Academy and the Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles. My journey continued in New York and LA within the elite teams of Sally Hershberger and Serge Normant, collaborating with visionaries for global publications including Vogue, Elle and Tatler. This international grounding gives me the versatility that production companies, luxury advertising and editorial projects demand.
SOVEREIGN EXCELLENCE & PRIVATE SERVICE
Since returning to France, I had the honor of serving for two years as the exclusive hair & makeup artist and wardrobe stylist to H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco, curating every look for her public life — a role that placed me in close collaboration with maisons including Haider Ackermann, Armani Couture, Cartier, Dior, Loro Piana and Louis Vuitton.
Today, I bring this same luxury signature — and the absolute discretion it demands — to a discerning private clientele, to wedding planners and Château teams orchestrating destination celebrations, and to production directors and designers who need a trusted artist on call, anywhere in the world.
