DJ, Model, Parisian. Paloma creates new-wave house music that's driven by movement and connection. Her journey started early, shaped by her dad who's a DJ and producer. Now she's carving her own path as a creative — and acting in our film.

Artist, Rapper, Producer. Born in St. Louis and based in Dallas, ian is redefining rap music through a melodic lens, creating a sound that is entirely his own. Never afraid to express himself through his songs — or in this case, by acting for the first time.

The making of. The Long Way.

Inspired by the spirit of ‘60s French Nouvelle Vague and films like A Bout de Souffle, we wanted to capture a Franco-American love story. The joining of our two cultures on film.

We chose ian and Paloma Le Friant as our actors, both artists with music backgrounds, as a nod to our brands' shared history in music. And then Karl Cannone, a director with roots in France and Los Angeles, to connect both worlds.

He guided our film through the cinematic Montmartre district as a love letter to Paris. Capturing an unexpected connection between two strangers as they chose to take the long way — and what they found when they did.
