Growing up in a small village in the south of France, Lucien's world was limited. Yet, it was this very limitation that sparked his curiosity and desire to break into the fashion industry. We discuss his incredible journey from a remote village to interning directly under Yves Saint Laurent and Gianfranco Ferré at Dior, to becoming one of the top fashion PRs in Paris, London, and New York, representing over 150 luxury brands from Schiaparelli, Coperni, Victoria Beckham, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, Byredo, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and more.
