At Kilometre Paris, each piece seeks to tell a story of travel through Couture & Embroidery. With our 'Caravans', we invite you to join us on our worldly travels and experience unique events in which fashion meets storytelling.
Through our stops around the world, we shine lights on each of our 'muses': those exceptional individuals who inspire us with their passions and their individuality. These encounters offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in a universe where each garment, crafted with care & detail, represents a journey, an enriching experience which we hope to share.
Under the direction of Alexandra Senes and with the eyes of talented photographers such as Sarah Forgie, Bennu Gerede & Julie Ansiau, we've documented these exchanges, offering an intimate & authentic way of celebrating at our creations. This third edition of Caravan takes place in Los Angeles, with 11 inspiring muses, each enriching our adventure. Join us on an unforgettable journey of fashion and creativity.
Daniela Villegas
We at Kilometre Paris would like to present our muse: Daniela Villegas. A woman who does not simply move through life, she dismantles it, rearranges it, stitches it back together with golden thread and an insatiable hunger for the unseen. She doesn't just observe the world; she undoes it, pries open its locked doors, rummages through its hidden compartments, turns it over in her hands like a jewel catching the light at impossible angles.
Is she working a job? No. That question is almost laughable. Daniela is living, fully, ferociously, unapologetically. Her work is not something she does; it is something she is. She does not believe in linear timelines — she moves like the tide, unpredictable, fluid, dictated only by an invisible rhythm that only she can hear.
A Scorpio in every sense of the word — her favorite place is not a city, not a destination, it is home. But there are places that echo in her bones: Chateau Marmont, where memories flicker like old film reels, and the mountains of Sri Lanka, where the world feels infinite and her father's presence lingers in the wind.
Anatole Heger
We at Kilometre Paris would like to present our muse: Anatole Heger. A painter, a dreamer, and a quiet observer of the world, Anatole moves through life with a soft presence and a mind that often drifts elsewhere. He is drawn to understanding people, feeling deeply, and creating with urgency. Painting is more than his craft — it is his anchor. Without the solitude of his studio, the calm that defines him begins to unravel.
For Anatole, art is not a profession but a way of being. He never sought a conventional path, only the freedom to live as himself, on his own terms. That pursuit has led him to exhibitions across the world, from NADA Miami to Felix in Los Angeles, with an upcoming show in New York this fall.
Beyond the canvas, he is drawn to nature, to the mystery of existence, to the delicate balance between presence and longing. No single place holds his heart entirely — but for Anatole, home is not a location; it is the people who make a place feel like it belongs to him.
Kate Butler
We at Kilometre Paris would like to present our muse: Kate Butler. An actress, a storyteller, a seeker of beauty in its most elusive forms, Kate moves through the world not merely to exist but to devour, absorb, transform. Creativity is not just her craft; it is the rhythm of her being, the undercurrent pulling her toward every untold story, every unwritten page, every performance waiting to be inhabited.
Recently, she completed The JonBenét Ramsey Story, a haunting limited series for Paramount+, and her short film The End earned a nomination for Best Narrative Short at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Past performances — Bridge to Terabithia, 30 Days of Night — are etched into memory, a reel of characters she has embodied, discarded, and carried with her all at once.
Italy — its sun-drenched ruins, its echoes of history, its languid afternoons stretching into evenings of wine, conversation, and laughter — is where she feels most herself. And the stories aren't done yet. Not for Kate. Not for the world waiting to see what she does next.
Bennu Gerede
We at Kilometre Paris would like to present our muse: Bennu Gerede. A woman who does not walk through life — she storms, she surges, she radiates. A photographer, a storyteller, a force. To call her unconventional would be an understatement; to call her fearless would be redundant. She is ungovernable, untethered to expectation, a spirit that refuses to be confined.
Her bloodline carries the weight of history — Hüsrev Gerede, ambassador, right hand of Atatürk, a name etched into the streets of Istanbul itself. But Bennu does not live in history's shadow. She bends history to her will, remakes it, reinvents it. She sees through the lens and does not capture — she devours, she consumes, she absorbs light and throws it back into the world in sharp, breathless flashes.
Mother of four kings, she has built, she has burned, she has endured. She does not travel — she disappears, dissolves, embeds herself in the pulse of a place. Malibu, Bali, Paris, Istanbul, New York — wherever she goes, she belongs and yet never stays. She is in motion, always. She is sun, light that blinds and warms in equal measure.
