Camille Bidault Waddington moved to London from Paris in 1997 where she begun her career as a freelance stylist. A continuing relationship with Martine Sitbon and Self Service magazine enabled her to remain part of the Paris fashion industry. Bidault Waddington's unique style led her to work with photographers Nick Knight, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Terry Richardson and Horst Diekgerdes for publications such as Dazed and Confused, The Face, and Pop. Her international reputation has led to her collaboration with designers in London, Paris, Milan and New York. She is currently consulting for Marc by Marc Jacobs, Byblos and Pucci and is Fashion Director at Self Service magazine, as well as contributing to Vogue Italia, Vogue Nippon and Vogue China.

I think she is adorable . She is married to musician Jarvis Cocker, and they live in Paris with their 4- year- old son Albert .

It's good for me that I live with another creative person. Jarvis [Cocker - whom she recently married] helps me find ways to work the ideas I have. So when I had an idea for a story about dressing sculptures in parks, we went out together to do research. I find music helps, too, and Jarvis often sings at home. You can be creative anywhere. I used to think environment was important, so I got a studio and painted all my furniture pink and put all my pictures up, but after a while I was never there, so now I work from home.
My job is about creating something from nothing. It's very abstract: you choose the girl, you choose the location. Basically you invent a little world, which is just going to last one day. And it's only when you look through the Polaroids over breakfast the next day that you realise what you have done.
I think the enemy of creativity is conformism and being scared of what others are going to think about what you're doing. You have to disregard any kind of judgement from outside, because as soon as you start asking around too much for advice, you're finished.
pas trop tôt...
I have an article about her wedding in an old SelfService...
can we post some of her works or is it just for her style?!
It should mainly be for her work.. as the thread is located in Behind the Lens.. however if her personal style continues to be a focus.. maybe it would be an idea to split the thread into 2 one for Star Style and leave the posts that focus primarily on her work here ?
