Marine Muller, a prominent figure in the fashion industry, began her modeling career at a young age. Her passion and talent were recognized early, thanks to her parents who sent her photos to a modeling agency.A significant turning point was her collaboration with the renowned magazine Numéro. She posed for an editorial shot by the talented Jean-Baptiste Mondino, a prestigious name in fashion photography. This shoot marked the start of her ascent and showcased her incredible potential and captivating presence in front of the camera.
She combines elegance and commitment with a devoted passion for the oceans and creativity. Her exotic travels, such as a recent trip to Mexico where she had the privilege of whale watching, are unforgettable chapters in her story. Yet, it's in the vibrant streets of New York that she finds her soulmate, exploring every corner of this iconic metropolis with boundless love.
But Marine is much more than a famous face. Her eco-friendly swimwear brand, Manillema, is an ode to sustainability and diversity. Inspired by the ocean, each piece reflects her commitment to a more conscious future, crafted from recycled fishing nets. Manillema, a truly human-scale business, reflects the values dear to Marine: authenticity, sustainability, and representation of feminine diversity.
Behind the spotlight, she is an engaged woman who strives to leave a positive mark on the planet. Sensitive to overconsumption, she has reevaluated her own consumption habits, now favoring timeless, high-quality pieces often inherited from her mother, which she wears daily. This awareness has also influenced her business, a small-scale structure where she knows each worker in the workshop and actively participates in fittings. She also models for her brand but especially loves developing the creative side by seeking new photographers and models.
An advocate for fair working conditions, she recently joined the Model Alliance. "Modeling may seem glamorous, but there are also challenges," she emphasizes, determined to protect young talents. On social media, her influence spreads. Sharing moments of her life with sincerity, she inspires thousands of followers with her simple and elegant style, reflecting her love for independent designers and timeless classics.
Marine Muller represents a new era in fashion, blending aesthetics with ethics, while raising her voice for change. With Manillema, she paves the way for more thoughtful consumption, proving that fashion can be both beautiful and responsible.
