Stéphanie Orillard
Head of makeup
Director and founder of Ornaré
“I wanted a centre inspired by the great Bauhaus school founded by Walter Gropius. I designed it not simply as a training centre, but as a place where we seek to rebuild a culture of the craft, bring knowledge together and help a profession evolve.
At the Bauhaus, students learned alongside masters from different disciplines. Artistic thinking met hands-on learning in the workshops. This approach sought to overcome the divide between the person who designs and the person who carries out the work.
At Ornaré, this idea already comes to life in the meeting of renowned heads of makeup, special effects specialists and image professionals, fully aware of their rights and duties as members of their profession.
This centre was not born simply from a wish to pass on film makeup techniques. It was born from a broader ambition: to bring together art for the screen, craftsmanship, design and industry.
Ornaré stands firmly in this space: the one that connects technical mastery, visual culture, an understanding of materials and an understanding of the image.”
