A biography for Jeanne Damashasn’t been written yet.
“The American girl is casual during the day and sophisticated at night. The French girl dresses for both, day and night.”
“When I don't know what to wear for a night out, I always wear some high-wasted jeans, a fluid top, and high heels.”
“I love pairing bright details with simple looks or casual materials like denim or cotton.”
“I love sensual materials like silk or cashmere.”
“I use M.A.C. Brow Gel to bring out my eyebrows, then I curl my eyelashes every morning and apply M.A.C. Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Venomous Violet with my fingers - I use it as a lip balm multiple times throughout the day because I hate having bare lips.”
“I like the eyeliner and fringe '60s look, like Anna Karina.”
“I have a few vintage furs and have a particular weakness for Mongolian lamb fur - it's quite '70s - and I like the volume fur gives.”
“I wear jeans a lot.”
“Parisians have this ability to be cool and chic without appearing to have made an effort.”
“I have a passion for sweaters. Besides jeans, they are the clothes I have the most of in my closet. I must have a hundred!”
“Travel by car or by bike! It helps to avoid walking too much and hurting your feet.”
“The Rouje woman is free, natural, and likes to be confident and comfortable in her garments.”
“French girls are very simple - they don't try too much.”
“If you're going to wear statement shoes, it is best to keep your outfit simple.”
“Even if I am going to an event or a wedding, I try to just look effortless. The more effortless you look, the more chic you look.”
“I have always been surrounded by women with strong personality and feminine: my mother, my sister, my aunts, my friends. I am fascinated by the look they can have - simple details such as a step, a way of speaking, a gesture, a way of wearing a garment.”
“Why is there this myth? People say, 'Oh, you are a style icon. You're 'French, French, French.' It's not true, you know; there are stylish people everywhere.”
“I wanted to create clothes that my friends and I can wear throughout the seasons. We wear Rouje in Paris, on holiday, or at work.”
“Rouje is my ideal closet, as I want to be able to wear every piece and appreciate them.”
“I'm lazy! For me, fashion has to be easy.”
