On the occasion of the launch of Ysé’s new Les Essentiels collection, we have joined forces to explore what is most intimate to us: our daily gestures, our rituals, our tribe, and the people who shape it.
Ysé is a brand that, like us, holds bodies close to its heart. Together, we have given a voice to four inspiring women, with diverse journeys and ideas, who have allowed us to rethink intimacy in new ways.
Can you introduce yourself?
My name is Marine, I’m a model, content creator, and I also work with my partner in his recruitment business. I love traveling and sharing my adventures on social media, but for the past six months, my life has completely changed with the birth of my son, Léonard.
Becoming a mother has been a profound shift, full of challenges and magical moments. I have been breastfeeding my son since birth, an experience that is particularly close to my heart. Between my work, my role as a mother, and managing my health – as I live with Crohn’s disease – I try to find balance, even though it’s not always easy.
What are your three essentials for a balanced life?
Cooking: I love food, and cooking is a real escape for me. It’s a moment where I can be creative and unwind.
My camera (or my phone): Creating content is an essential part of my life. Capturing moments, whether it’s fashion looks, landscapes from my travels, or precious family memories, is something I cherish.
The support of the right people: Whether personally, professionally, or for my health, having the right people around makes all the difference. My community is also a huge source of strength. Engaging with people who understand and support me gives me comfort and motivation.
Has your perspective on essentials changed over time?
Absolutely. In the past, I focused mostly on my career and travels, always seeking to live life to the fullest. Today, my priorities have shifted. Being a mother, taking care of my health, and nurturing my family have become my focus. I’ve learned to slow down, appreciate the small moments, and carve out time for myself, even if it’s not always easy. For me, the key is finding balance—not striving for perfection, but feeling at peace with my choices and priorities.
