The science of styling is a curious thing: an alchemy of practical know-how, an astute understanding of visual balance, a knowledge of design, both past and present, an ability to interpret future trends and, of course, an indefinable touch of magic. It seems portentous, then, when speaking to this maker of modern fantasies, to discover that Jean-Christophe Aumas' apartment was once inhabited (in the early 19th century) by a famous Parisian sorcerer, fortune teller and magician'.
Prolific as well as passionate and with a reputation as one of the most genial people in the industry, Jean-Christophe's artistic direction is considered amongst the best in his respective field. Before launching his agency, Singular, Jean-Christophe headed the visual identity department at Louis Vuitton under the helm of Marc Jacobs. Now his original touch is coveted by a client list that reads like the pages of a Vogue magazine: brands such as Celine, Dior, Boucheron, Nina Ricci, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Kenzo, Cacharel, children's clothing labels Bonpoint and Petit Bateau, fragrance house Diptyque as well as iconic French department stores such as Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, for whom he creates mesmerising window displays.
