2021 will not have been easy for Marc-Antoine Coulon! The most bankable illustrator in the fashionsphere has chained projects, even crossing French borders... If we were able to admire his touch in the film "A Castle for Christmas" with Brooke Shields on Netflix, the most talented French artist in his generation also signed the poster for the feature film “Rose” by Aurélie Saada as well as a prestigious collaboration with the house of Van Cleef & Arpels. Since last September, we have been able to find him every Sunday evening on France 2. Live, on the set of "20:30 p.m. on Sunday", he sketched the guests of Laurent Delahousse, presenting at the end of the program his sublime watercolors.
While he is in high demand for projects in the United States – Marc-Antoine Coulon notably collaborated with the former First Lady Melania Trump! – the man of the year gave us a moment to give us his favorite Parisian addresses… Follow the guide!
