Bio & background

Alma de Ricou and Manon Engel are a Paris-based directing duo represented worldwide by DIVISION, specializing in luxury beauty and high-fashion advertising. Their commercial portfolio spans prestige beauty clients including Lancôme (Teint Idole Foundation, Rénergie Collagen Lift Extend Cream with Christy Turlington), Chanel (Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance, 31 LE ROUGE, multiple beauty campaigns), Dior Beauty (BACKSTAGE Face & Body Foundation), NARS Cosmetics (Powermatte Campaign), and Carolina Herrera (Lucky Charms Fragrance, Fabulous Eyes Collection). In fragrance, they have directed Jean Paul Gaultier's Museum and Holiday campaigns. Their fashion work includes Coperni's Holiday Campaign, Thom Browne x ASICS collaboration shot by Hugo Carlier, and Hermès Le Monde d'Hermès projects. Working across film direction and photography, the duo creates visually striking campaigns blending style and satire into what has been described as "glossy, hypnotic" worlds. Their October 2025 music video for Bonnie Banane's "Hoes Of Na"—a body-horror-inflected critique of wellness culture—earned PromoNews coverage, demonstrating conceptual range beyond commercial work. They maintain studio L'Etiquette and collaborate frequently with photographers Valentin Herfray and Hugo Carlier.
