        <p style="text-align: left;"><span>Impossible to place in one category or another&mdash;and that's a good thing&mdash;Le Diouck, a fluid creature with green hair and a wandering mood, navigates between haunting <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/patta-x-tommy-hilfiger-capsule-collection-90s-nyc-hip-hop-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hip-hop</a>, modern soul, and electronic textures, playing with languages&mdash;English, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexa-chung-french-girl-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French</a>, and Wolof, since his family is Senegalese&mdash;and several instruments. Deliciously freed from all rules, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/paris-plus-par-art-basel-artists-to-watch-highlights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artist</a> draws his inspiration from wherever it pleases him, obeying only his intuitive desires. </span></p>

His irresistible, sensual and hypnotic flow evokes an almost mystical approach to his art, committed and engaging. We are already ready to follow him anywhere.

The <em>Bachelor</em> exhibition in 2017 confirmed his talent. His portraits&mdash;raw, melancholy&mdash;often have the hangover of the aftermath of drunkenness which we no longer know if it was euphoric or tragic. His imagination, where we can guess the influence of directors John Waters and Gaspard No&eacute;, or <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/emerging-fashion-photographers-to-watch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photographer</a> Robert Mapplethorpe, is expressed in a work oscillating between documentary and autobiography, between surges of sensual sap and melancholic drifts, wanderings</span> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">nocturnal scenes and moments captured&mdash;never stolen, always complicit&mdash;with a delicacy that is not blinded by the recurring use of flash and close-ups. </span></p>

        <p><span>Jade Rabarivelo, 19, better known as Suki, is a multi-talented artist. Composer of intimate texts, singer with a sweet voice, and gifted musician, she delights her followers with her songs.

        <p><span>She released her first album in 2020,</span> <span><em>Blessing</em>,</span> <span>alongside J&eacute;r&eacute;my Chatelain, followed a year later with</span> <span><em>Move On</em>,</span> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">co-produced by Brevin Kim. The next one will be signed by KCIV. Also a very noteworthy model, this daughter of a Franco-Polish woman and an American father with Malagasy origins multiplies the campaigns for Nodaleto of which she is muse, via <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/every-look-versace-spring-summer-2023-mfw-runway-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Versace</a> Jeans and most recently <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/every-look-miu-miu-spring-summer-2023-runway-photos-pfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miu Miu</a>, orchestrated by the star stylist Lotta Volkova and shot by Tyrone Lebon.

In a hurry to create, he seized the opportunities offered by a computer to compose, again and again, while studying at the Conservatory&mdash;but careful to avoid high technicality, to favor instinctive, intuitive expression. Marked as much by the operas of Bizet as the melodies of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/stella-mccartney-capsule-collection-the-beatles-get-back-documentary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beatles</a> or Justice&mdash;his first &ldquo;adult&rdquo; concert, even if he was then only</span> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">ten years old&mdash;his musical education shaped more than a style, but a musical personality apart in the Franco-French landscape. Traveler, contemplative, ultra-sensual, his music, twin (but not Siamese) of the work of James Blake offers him a seat in first class, in direction of a beautiful horizon.
