Schéhérazade Abdelilah was born in Paris to a Bavarian mother and Algerian father.
She was introduced to the Fashion world as a model with Ford Model's agency in Paris, she then pursued her interest for creation by studying at ESAG Penninghen from which she graduated in 2004 with a Master’s Degree in Visual Communication.

Her love for cross-cultural experiences led her to travel and work abroad: she left Paris for L.A. then went on to Shanghai, London, Bahrain & Morocco. She worked as a Freelance Art Director in fields ranging from Film Production, Fashion Shoots, Marketing & Advertisement. So far, her illustrations have been featured in Vogue (China, Japan), Lucky Magazine, Muteen & GQ.

Her passion for photography and illustration is also a strong part of her visual and artistic identity, which she cultivates through Life/Work Encounters & Wanderlust.

She currently works as a Strategic Planning consultant for Prada with Studio Baciocchi, focusing on adapting the architectural structure of the PRADA GROUP stores ( Prada, Miu Miu, Car Shoes, Church's ) to the cultural specificities of the location where the store is/ should be.

She is currently based in Paris.
