Truth is, I've always been thirsty.

A man tells so many stories, that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.

There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they are faster or stronger than other fish, they're just touched by something extra.

Back in the day

My mother gave me a few days ago these fashion and needlework magazines turned yellow by time.

Here's a taste of the 70's!

Good Morning Sophie!

Uffie/ Electropop and Fashion

• You could start by telling me the origin of your name. Is “Uffie” your birth name?

Ah! Uffie is the nickname actually my dad gave me. “œuf” is an egg in French, so that somehow turned into Uffie before I can even remember.

• You are currently in Paris, but where did you grow up?

I was born in Miami actually, I moved to Hong Kong when I was four, and then I moved back to Florida: Miami, Fort Lauderdale. Then Connecticut, then Missouri for a while, and then Paris when I was 15.

• You’ve been there for awhile then. How does Paris compare to any of the other places you’ve lived?

You can walk everywhere, which is nice. The food’s amazing. It just really has a slower pace, everyone enjoys life here. They take their time, long dinners. It just has really calm vibes, and there is always something to do, always an exhibition happening. It’s a very good balance.

• So how did you get into rap from that childhood?

I started listening to a lot of hip hop when I came back from the US to Hong Kong. And when I started making music, I was friends with DJ Feadz, and he was kind of pushing me to do vocals for him, so I wrote “Pop the Glock”. And things just kind of went crazy from there!

Petit Bateau/ The “petite culotte”

Created in 1893 by Pierre Valton, the company was the first to manufacture cotton undergarments for WWI soldiers. Legend suggests that right after the war, while taking care of his son, Valton was inspired by a different children’s song (en Anglais): “Mummy, the little boats sailing on water, do they have legs?” The name of the brand and its icon product were born: Petit Bateau (little boat) and the petite culotte, an undergarment with cut-off legs for children. Prior to this date, children’s underwear was merely a miniature copy of their senior fellows’. The original name still defines the universe of the brand: the sailboat recalls a toy, the water allegory reflects hygiene, and the adjective “little” gives it a playful, tender angle. By 1920, Petit Bateau became a well-established brand.
