“I’m drawn to stories with clear narrative,” Michon says.
“I’m not satisfied in simply making things look beautiful, because that doesn’t
have lasting power.”

storytelling skills. Her short fashion film Lollipop

Michon plans to pursue advertising projects with similarly
engaging narratives. “When I’m working with a designer, I want to know where
they got the inspiration for the collection,” she insists. “If it’s a music
video, I listen to the song and talk to the artist. I try to develop something
that is visually interesting and has a concept or a story that will keep people
watching.”
