Get up close and personal with the biggest names in beauty and media – from global brand founders to boundary-breaking creatives, stars of the screen (and everyone in-between).

Here, Violette joins MECCA In The Chair at Fred's Bar in Cremorne, Melbourne (a champagne and oyster dispensary one could easily confuse with a pocket of Paris). Watch as she chats about her career highlights, the French beauty ethos and her dream dinner party guests (involving an eclectic mix of Yves Klein, Melinda Gates and Beethoven, among others). All this while effortlessly applying her signature ‘French kiss’ lip... Hit play!
