I’m Sarah B Solanet, a Paris-born visual artist with a background in fashion and art. I studied at Mod’Art International and earned my master’s degree in 2010. My creative journey began in 2009 on the film Coco avant Chanel, directed by Anne Fontaine, where I worked alongside Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Leterrier to create costumes for Audrey Tautou and Marie Gillain.
After graduating, I worked as a dresser for fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Elie Saab, and Maison Martin Margiela for seven years, eventually becoming Cara Delevingne’s personal dresser for Chanel shows. In 2012, I signed with DI Agency for acting and modeling and began assisting stylist Guya Marini on campaigns for Globus Cashmere, S.Oliver, and L’Officiel Magazine.
In 2013, I collaborated with New York stylist Gerlan Marcel, representing her brand Gerlan Jeans at the Rendez-Vous showroom in Paris. My film work continued with Hello World for La Fémis, where I designed futuristic jewelry. Inspired by this project, I launched my own jewelry brand, Couleur Punk à L’eau, creating bold perspex pieces.
Parallel to this, I modeled for artists like sculptor Philippe Sééné and figurative painter Shane Wolf, which deepened my understanding of 3D forms and color. In 2015, seeking new inspiration, my partner and I moved to a creative warehouse community in North London, where I developed my distinctive drawing style, influenced by the eclectic group of artists I lived with.
In 2017, we relocated to Brighton, where we now raise our son. These diverse experiences in fashion, cinema, and art ultimately revealed my true path as a visual artist.
The “B” in Sarah B Solanet is a tribute to my late grandmother Béatrice—“Boubou”—who passed on her love for beauty and art.
