How do you define the unique cool of French style? It’s not easy, granted, but if anyone has an idea it’s Jonathan Paciullo aka @LeFrenchyStyle. Our resident Tagwalk street style photographer has spent the past three weeks zipping around New York, London and Milan, snapping the coolest show-goers with that certain je ne sais quoi. With his particular eye for detail and tastefully unexpected colour combinations, Paciullo says he relies on instinct to capture only coolest moments in a split second, before they pass him by. Outside of fashion month, Paciullo is a regular contributor to Glamour Paris, and he once spent a year photographing cool Parisians on-the-go at Charles de Gaulle. The results of this unique idea were then printed like banners and hung throughout the airport, inspiring us to swap comfy leggings for nifty travel-looks reminiscent of a bygone era.  Don’t miss Le Frenchy’s pics of the best dressed in town as he comes home to Paris Fashion Week, starting this Tuesday...


Explain your job in one or two sentences: 

My job is like a video game. You have to know how to push the button at the right moment, keeping your eye on the right person with the right look - I'm totally addicted.

 

The city you prefer photographing in: 

It's a difficult one - Out of all four cities I prefer New York for the life in the streets, the backgrounds, the craziness and I abslotuly love Paris because it's home, I have my scooter and the way people dress during fashion week is impeccable. 

 

The last thing you saw that inspired you was ?

Chloe King yesterday after Delpozzo but alas, I wasn't quick enough to photograph her.

 

Your life surviving item during the shows (apart from your camera):

Iphone and Iphone extra charger

 

Current favourite Instagram account?

First of all because she’s a real artist with her still lives, are reminiscent of Irving Penn. Her drawings, her self portraits, I’m so jealous of her talent.

 

How do you choose what you photograph?

I honestly have no idea! I either feel it or I don’t… it’s something you feel instinctively because the reality is I don’t have an extensive knowledge of fashion. I photograph someone that catches my eye in any way possible.

 

The street style look that always works?

Everything works when you’re yourself.
