Daphnée Lanternier is a multidisciplinary creative director and visual artist whose practice is built on a simple belief: the strongest ideas are carried through every stage of their execution. Working across live performance, music, fashion and contemporary culture, she develops projects where creative direction, scenography, spatial design and production are conceived as one continuous creative discipline.
She collaborates with musicians, artists, luxury houses and cultural institutions to create performances, installations and large-scale visual experiences. At the intersection of art, architecture, movement and sound, her work is driven by narrative, materiality and craftsmanship, balancing artistic ambition with technical precision.
Her studio develops projects internationally across music, fashion, luxury and the performing arts, working with a network of artists, designers, engineers, fabricators and production specialists to bring ambitious ideas into physical form.

Daphnée has collaborated with Staud since 2019, developing a creative relationship across fashion shows, events and brand activations.
For two of the shows, she used light as the main scenographic element, creating large-scale installations that transformed the existing space rather than introducing a conventional set.
The collaboration has since expanded to events in Los Angeles, activations in Europe and Sarah Staudinger’s wedding with Ari Emanuel.
