I AM MÉLISSA, I AM A JOURNALIST AND NOW A PRODUCER - I DEVELOP DOCUMENTARIES FOR TELEVISION; ALL SORTS OF PLATFORMS. I WANTED TO ACHIEVE THIS TOTAL FREEDOM TO PRODUCE. PRODUCING MEANS ACCOMPANYING, CHOOSING; THE ANGLES, THE SUBJECTS TREATED, THE LIGHT TOWARDS WHICH WE WANT TO GO, THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO HAVE SEEN AND HEARD. I WENT LOOKING FOR THIS TOTAL FREEDOM. I FEEL AT THIS PLACE, AT THIS LEVEL, SOMETHING USEFUL, SO IT IS A COMMITMENT AS A CITIZEN – THEN AS A WOMAN, BUT ALWAYS AS A FULL-FLEDGED CITIZEN. WE GIVE A VOICE TO THINGS THAT SEEM TO BE UNFAIRLY IN THE SHADOWS MOST OF THE TIME.

TODAY I FEEL MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I USUALLY DO. AND SIMPLY PUT, BARBARA BUI IS A DESIGNER THAT I ADORE BECAUSE SHE MAKES ME LESS INSECURE, SHE ALSO MAKES ME STRONGER IN ASSERTING MYSELF; FEELING CARRIED, IN HER CONVICTIONS. I BRING FORWARD FILMS THAT DEAL WITH THE PROTECTION OF THE MOST FRAGILE POPULATIONS, OF WOMEN; IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS OFTEN MASCULINE AND SUDDENLY ALSO BEING SUPPORTED, REPRESENTED, AND DRESSED BY A BRAND THAT MAKES YOU STRONGER, IT ALSO AFFIRMS THIS POINT OF VIEW. I ALWAYS FEEL BETTER IN BARBARA BUI.

"MÉLISSA IS TRULY A WOMAN OF COMMITMENT. AND AS A WOMAN, I ADMIRE HER VIEWS AND BELIEFS."

- BARBARA BUI
