Four months into motherhood, I got a call from Gotye. Would I come to Paris for a personal project? Something in me said yes before my rational mind could intervene.

Three nights—just long enough to step outside the beautiful chaos of a newborn. Two days with Gotye felt like surfacing for air. On my final day, I connected with model Kepsi and stylist Rhys Ripper, long time collaborators.

We started the shoot in our Airbnb, and before we knew it, we were invited into the neighbour's, a debonaire plastic surgeon. His apartment was amazing, but that bathroom. Les toilettes royales.
