THE NOMASEI FAMILY - Episode 10

Elodie Piège, director of Maison Piège, wears Nomasei in her daily life and answers our questions.

• What is your profession? "I run Maison Piège, a group of restaurants."

• What is your mantra? "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger." As an entrepreneur, life’s challenges can sometimes be tough, but I always try to see the glass half full rather than half empty. I tend to look on the bright side of things."

• Your best trick for managing stress? "I’m not sure I actually manage it! People might not realize it, but those who know me well know that I’m quite anxious. I stress about not doing things right, missing a flight… When I’m at the office, I feel guilty for not being with my kids. When I’m with my kids, I feel guilty for not being at the office… That’s life! But I try to handle it by being kinder to myself."

• How do you feel in your Nomasei shoes? "I usually walk everywhere. I walk my kids to school, I walk to the office… Walking in 12cm heels would be impossible, so Nomasei heels are just perfect for me! I can walk for hours in them. They’re ideal for my job and for walking around Paris! They’re comfortable and chic."

• What is your comfort place ? "To be completely honest, it’s my restaurants. I feel at home there. They’re an extension of my house—I’ve chosen everything in them, I know them by heart, so that’s where I feel best."

• Your style tip ? "Don’t dress up as someone you’re not. Stay true to yourse. lf and don’t follow trends if they don’t resonate with you."

THE NOMASEI FAMILY is made up of strong women who inspire us. They are friends, clients, or even strangers who wear Nomasei as part of their daily lives as independent women.
