About Sandra

I'm Sandra, a French woman, used to be based in Shanghai for 8 years but now living in Montréal, Canada since October 2012. I'm a professional image consultant, personal shopper, stylist and fashion designer. After a career in the fashion industry as collection's manager, traveling and shopping all around Asia and Europe, I've opened "Les lucioles" concept store in 2007 in Shanghai to promote young designers from Europe, at the same time I've founded Shine Image Consulting, to help clients to define and refine their image and style. As a fashion lover, I had also written articles for a local magazine in Shanghai for the fashionista's column and made costumes for a theater troupe.
