Vanessa Bouziges is an international globetrotter who navigates her way between design, graphic design, fashion and fine art. She’s always had a very close relationship with Sessùn since the beginning of Sessùn’s South American adventure back in 1996. Vanessa eventually settled in Casablanca, where she devotes her time to making jewellery and contemporary tapestries. She’s still as passionate about what she does, taking inspiration from local craftsmen rather then simply copying their ideas.

What job would you’ve hated ?
Steelmaking: too heavy, too hard, too hot! Or, come to think of it, being a surgeon. I can’t stand the sight of blood.
Your mantra ?
Just breath.
Describe your perfect day :
Any day, where dancing and laughter are part of it.
What is your best memory of a past collaboration with Sessùn ?

Buying raw wool in a souk to turn into a piece of art.

Casablanca’s architectural heritage.
What superhuman power would you like to possess ?
The ability to expand time.

If you were a city or a country, which would you be ?
Venezuela (ha ha) !
If Sessùn were an anagram, what would each letter stand for ?
Sublime, Elle Surfe Sur Un Nuage. (Beautiful, she surfs on a cloud).
Why do you think Sessùn has that strange little accent on the letter "u" ?
It’s the southern French accent - it has to be that.
What question would you hate to have to answer ?
"Is that your real hair ? " or "What make are your shoes ? "
What would be your Sessùn soundtrack in just 5 songs ?
