MATCH OF THE DAY

French living in Paris, passionate about cinema, art, traveling to Italy, and vintage clothing

WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I like matches because they are related to travel memories: for instance, I got the two Japanese matchboxes in Kyoto a few years ago. I also love gathering objects, especially vintage @courreges clothes. Matches are somehow treasures from the past for me.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

My favorite matches are the ones that I found in Venice: the matchbox (with books) looks like a drawing by @fornasetti. Every time I strike a match, I feel like I’m flying to Italy.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

Fall is the perfect season for enjoying my matches. Each night, I like to light some candles in my apartment and admire the view of Parisian rooftops.
