New week, new portrait. Meet Céline Mori, a PR professional and restaurant manager, but also a woman with a sparkling personality and an ultra-creative spirit. She is delighted to share her personality and daily life with us.
Hello Céline, can you introduce yourself in a few words?
With pleasure. I work in public relations in the broadest sense, covering media, influencer relations, lobbying... I am a 360-degree PR professional. I developed my business through my father's business, who had a restaurant frequented by many personalities with very diverse activities. I therefore acquired a huge network!
You are a busy woman wearing many hats. Can you explain the different aspects of your professional life?
There are so many! My job allows me to touch on many areas, but the pattern remains the same: a question, an idea, a development. After a long period of reflection, I do everything I can to find the right solutions for my clients; via my network and the service providers I usually work with. To put it simply, my job consists of bringing people together. Bringing people together to rule better is somewhat my motto. I have this ability to gather people, to connect them, and since everyone needs everyone, the problems get solved.
After reflection, there is the production of my ideas. This involves creating digital content, organizing photo shoots, creating videos, product placement... and here again I call upon my network. I surround myself with talents who bring my ideas to life. I am a bit like a conductor surrounded by musicians who play the score I have put together.
At the same time, I am invested in my restaurant, the Mori Venice Bar in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. I set it up, restored it, opened it, and today more than ever, given that it is closed due to Covid, I use it as a brand support that I optimize to the maximum. I bring together non-competing brands that share the same vision, the same values, and who have an interest in communicating together. I create a story around these products to highlight them. We thus maximize communication and visibility around the presented products while reducing costs.
At the moment, I am working on the creation of a grocery box that will be available for click & collect. The idea is to make people travel through the regions of Italy thanks to themed boxes: Venice, Calabria, Lombardy, Sardinia... We will find only exceptional products inside, as well as an explanatory note on the history of each of them, how to prepare them, taste them...
What do you do to unwind?
I never unwind, I think I unwind but in reality my brain is always looking for a hidden idea... I am like that. My lifestyle is based around people, who they are, what they do, it is my passion and it never goes into standby mode.
I never unwind. My job is my passion and it never goes into standby mode
You seem to be a woman who knows what she wants, where does your strength of character come from?
From my father. I got everything from my father. We are both locomotives who are afraid of nothing, who move forward no matter what happens.
What do you think is a woman's greatest asset?
Without hesitation, her freedom. No one should have the right to touch freedom. A woman free in her mind and in her body, confident and independent is clearly her greatest asset.
What was your craziest bet?
I was 23 years old, a famous French film director asked me to organize his wedding for 400 people in just 1 month. Challenge accepted! I set the scene, a farm lost in the middle of nowhere, no electricity, no toilets and an astronomical amount of mud! I leave you to imagine the adventures. I don't know how I did it, but I did it and I have a wonderful memory of it.
Tell us about your greatest achievement.
I don't know if I have accomplished it yet. I count many small victories, but for the greatest achievement, we will talk about it again in about forty years.
Let's talk a little about fashion. How would you define your style?
The most important thing for me is the cut of the garment and the way it enhances the silhouette. Beautiful shapes, a fabric with a perfect drape and you are set. I have a rather masculine base that I will pimp with accessories, I don't deny myself anything. I also sometimes wear only black for a while and one morning when I wake up, I want colors. I have phases.
Which fashion piece(s) arouse all your desire at the moment?
To be honest, nothing in particular at the moment. Lockdown cuts me off, there is no occasion to dress up. However, at the end of the Covid period I am organizing a party where the dress code will be glitter!
What is your April Please favorite?
The Léopold ear jewelry. For me, it is a magnificent masterpiece. Ultra fine and delicate, it comes to highlight the curves of the neck and face, I love it.
To finish, for you April Please is...
Very fresh and feminine. For me, April Please combines modernity and a very poetic side. Special mention for the guys' names given to the jewelry !
