Hello, who are you and what is your profession?
I am Isis, I have 41 years and am married to Karel Balas. I'm an only child and have two children Alyosha Hiroko 12 years, 7 years. I am the founder and publisher of children's fashion MILK. I also have a visual communication agency, Fovea. I set up my structure with my husband Charles, about 8 years ago.
You work with your husband, how you divide up the roles within your company?
Basically, Karel is creative director, he deals quite naturally to the DA and the photo. It is also very involved in the numbers. For my part, I first managerial role: I manage a team of 12 people. Most importantly, I am the ambassador of MILK outside. I go out much, but when I go out, I have this role of ambassador. I'm so invested in this title that ultimately, I like very much. Finally, I'm the artistic director of the agency, and I try to create a series of mode number as a stylist, is my little fun.
How did you get there?
After my degree, I made a college of letters and a master of cinema. I did an internship at AB production in the early 90s, was on the rise, which allowed rapid changes in society. I found myself on a youth program. First intern, I quickly became a producer and presenter. I am convinced that the physical is crucial for a career. Mine liked children, I stayed 10 years. At 33, I had a start as an entrepreneur, I had no desire to be under the control of producers. For his part, my husband who worked in the press began to wipe a few disappointments. We then decided to work together and create a magazine for "parents with a contemporary image culture and a high purchasing power." It was the birth of MILK. A year later, we created our visual communication agency Fovea.
