Masai stories

Head of Retail at Masai
âIâve worked with shops â that is, the retail industry â all my life, and there are three main experiences Iâm very much aware of in my everyday life. The first is the gift I received when I moved to Paris and was lucky enough to work for Christian Louboutin. He taught me that a positive customer experience must be felt at all levels. Everyone deserves to be seen, and nobody should be without that. The second great realisation has been how privileged I am in my job here at Masai. You see, very little time elapses from a design idea taking shape, to put it in the hands of individual women. The third is what a gift it actually is to be with Masai. Iâve spent many years trying to fit in and be right, but itâs only now Iâve found contentment in being myself. I donât have to conform or fit into a box here; I have breathing space to be myself, and itâs such a great feeling to have.â

MASAI STORIES
MASAI STORIES sind PortrÀts, die das Leben von Frauen durch Gedanken und Reflexionen engagierter und leidenschaftlicher Frauen erzÀhlen. Die Geschichten handeln von Vielfalt, Offenheit, Mut und nicht zuletzt von der Freiheit, sich selbst zu wÀhlen. Durch die Begegnung mit verschiedenen Frauen, die uns alle mit ihren Lebensentscheidungen und ihrer KreativitÀt inspirieren, wollten wir einen besonderen Einblick in die Welten der Frauen schaffen. Damit zeigen wir die Schönheit und Kraft, die entsteht, wenn Leidenschaft sich entfalten kann, und wenn man auf sein Herz hört und seine TrÀume lebt.

She also believes that happiness is a form of creativity and that creativity is just like a muscle â you need to exercise it regularly.
