At 33, Taïs Bean, the daughter of Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, takes her first steps as a model. The artist and singer is dressed in a black leather vest that she wears next to the skin, and wide, high-waisted leather pants in the same shade.

“I didn’t know there was a woman in leather inside me,” she said in a question-and-answer video posted on Barbara Bui’s Instagram account.
