"Josiane K"

Josiane K isn’t a name. She’s a seismic event.

Neither fully alive nor entirely dead, Josiane K hovers somewhere between icon, diva, and bathroom deity. She speaks in rare perfumes, sacred commands, and millennial sarcasm. She rules over hotels the way others rule over empires—in a stained Dior blouse and invisible heels. Her disciples fear her, her lovers flee, her enemies imitate.

This book isn’t a novel. It’s an apparition.
A world drenched in sick luxury, absurd rituals, and characters too beautiful to be real—or maybe too real to be beautiful. Everything here is exaggerated, precious, theatrical. Just like Josiane.

Through the Doctrine of K—her personal cult blending black incense, ritual sacrifice, and late-night interviews on TNT Luxe—Josiane becomes a contemporary parable: a fame that mutates into myth, a madness that morphs into structure, a woman who no longer apologizes for her insanity—she turns it into a throne.

Welcome to a kingdom of ivory and irony.
Here, truth doesn’t matter. Only style does.

Currently in development as a feature film, Josiane K expands this intimate, dreamlike world into a visual story of beauty, ruin, and rebirth under the banner of Raphaël Pathé Héritage.

"Pathé Belle Époque"

Pathé Belle Époque is more than a film. It is a portal—a sweeping, time-bending cinematic journey inspired by the Pathé brothers’ real-life legacy, reimagined through a surreal and magical lens. Anchored in the splendor of Belle Époque Paris and infused with the spirit of mysticism, the story unfolds as a historical fantasy charged with emotion, power, and prophecy.

A visionary cinematic saga inspired by legacy, mystery, and the golden age of France

Based on the trilogy I've been developing since 2016, this film project aims to bring to life an alternative history where cinema becomes an instrument of alchemy, illusion, and rebellion. Drawing from my own ancestral heritage and decades of creative exploration, Pathé Belle Époque is a deeply personal epic—one that merges past, present, and future into a visually striking narrative for screen.

The project is conceived as a cinematic trilogy, echoing the structure of the books:

• Film I – The Awakening (1890–1929)

• Film II – The Illusion (1930s–1945s)

• Film III – The Convergence (1995–2025)

"The Raphaël Pathé Spotlight"

A luxury travel and lifestyle series blending personal storytelling, music, and cinematic elegance.

Hosted by Raphaël Pathé, the series explores exclusive destinations, timeless rituals, and hidden cultural gems through a lens of intuition, humour, and grace. Each episode unfolds as a poetic narrative—part documentary, part dream—where travel becomes art, and presence becomes performance.

Shot in the French Caribbean and beyond, the show features an animated red macaw: a bold, shape-shifting companion who acts as both guide and spiritual compass, weaving through the visible and invisible worlds with style, wit, and mystery. The Raphaël Pathé Spotlight invites viewers to experience the world through refinement, intuition, and poetic curiosity. It opens collaboration opportunities in:

• Destination showcases (Saint-Barthélemy, Cannes, Ibiza, etc.)

• Luxury brand partnerships

• Cultural and institutional collaborations

• Guest appearances and co-production ventures

Currently in development, The Raphaël Pathé Spotlight is open to collaboration with destinations, cultural institutions, and luxury brands seeking to celebrate heritage, creativity, and modern elegance in an entirely new cinematic language.

The French Embassies
World Tour

At each destination, Raphaël Pathé — artistic ambassador and direct descendant of the founding Pathé family — presents an immersive evening uniting film, sound, light, and innovation. The event bridges the origins of French cinema and recorded sound with today’s creative and technological landscape.

The format adapts to each embassy’s vision: a refined gathering where French and local professionals in cinema, music, and the arts connect. Each edition features a live performance and keynote presentation by the artist, celebrating the Pathé family legacy and its evolution toward the future of image and sound.

Through partnerships with France’s diplomatic network — which includes over 150 embassies worldwide — The French Embassies World Tour seeks to bring a new breath to France’s cultural presence abroad, inspiring dialogue, creativity, and renewed admiration for French art, elegance, and innovation.

A diplomatic and artistic initiative in development, envisioned in collaboration with French embassies and cultural institutions worldwide.

Imagine an evening inside the Palais Clam-Gallas, home of the French Embassy in Vienna — an Art Nouveau jewel once built for the 1900 Paris Exposition.

In this setting of crystal light and golden arches, Raphaël Pathé Héritage presents a live performance merging film, sound, and light. Archival images from the early days of cinema unfold across the walls while live vocals and original music fill the salon. Guests move between projection and performance, experiencing diplomacy through art and emotion.

Ambassadors, artists, and cultural leaders gather to celebrate the revival of the French spirit of innovation — where the legacy of the founding Pathé family meets the artistry of today.

This concept illustrates the kind of event envisioned for the French Embassies World Tour: elegant, immersive, and adaptable to every nation’s cultural identity.

Raphaël Pathé Fashion News

As part of the Raphaël Pathé Heritage global initiative, we are developing a visionary new series that merges haute couture, historic storytelling, and live performance into cinematic experiences that feel both timeless and futuristic.

At the beginning of his career, Raphaël Pathé worked as a fashion model in Milan, appearing in publications and moving through the world of designers, ateliers, and luxury events. That firsthand experience with fashion continues to influence this next chapter — a project inspired by iconic houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana, and the bold aesthetic power of couture across eras.

Inspired by the original British Pathé News, which once captured fashion trends on film, this project aims to revive and elevate that legacy. Through stylized short films, voiceovers, music, and symbolic visuals, we will document and reinterpret fashion moments in Monaco, St. Barts, Paris, Milan, and beyond — offering a poetic, artistic view from within the fashion world itself.

Each event is filmed in a vintage cinematic style, blending AI-generated content, immersive design, and the theatrical energy of modern couture. The result: a new form of "Raphaël Pathé News" — part performance, part archive, part dream.

The photo above reflects the spirit of this vision: fashion as storytelling, artistry as news, and legacy reimagined.
