CREOLES - JUDITH

Paris, a gray but gentle day in April Everything about her is beautiful, she is above all simple. Her style, the way she does her hair or makeup. She is the kind of woman who fascinates, always beautiful sometimes without even trying! The first time she wore HOOPS she was 16, influenced by her hip hop rap or rnb singers who need no introduction. She immediately knew that this piece of jewelry would follow her for a long time. Those around her remarked that it gave her a Spanish flair. That’s probably true. With them, she feels comfortable, joyful, and very feminine.

Two years later, she had two piercings in each ear. Today, she has 3 on each, in different places. Symmetry is not her thing. To buy them, she always goes to that shop on rue des Francs Bourgeois. The first time she went there, it was with her mother and sister. Since then, it’s like a sweet ritual.

With her headphones at full volume, she leaves the metro and, as always, crossing this Paris engraved in history feels magical and touristy to her. It’s funny though, she lives just a few districts away, but tirelessly, she imagines Paris in the 1930s.

Each ring placement tells a different moment of her life. The transition from girl to young woman, rebellion, the development of her style while staying true to herself. She loves telling her story through them. She likes to compare them to tattoos, but that step, she doesn’t feel ready for, for now.

Now, it’s her signature, her very own look. That certain something that makes all the difference.
