Birthday Portrait Series: Aude Schneider.

Our good friend Aude has a kick-ass aesthetic sense, whether she’s designing jets for Bombardier or turning an old fur coat into a chic new piece. She’s generous and sweet and thoughtful and a tiny bit kooky. Everyone needs an Aude in their life.

Here she is in a country garden in Rigaud, a few years ago – don’t ask.

Happy birthday [for Monday], Aude.
