A staple at the Jardin  de Tulleries, Jean Paul Paula or as he is affectionately called 'JPP' is a true style aficionado. This Dutch native is often captured by street style photographers for his unique ability to take fashion at its most abstract heights and effortlessly become a living and breathing ‘editorial vision’ as he walks down the street. A model and stylist by trade, Jean Paul Paula curates his own blog: AS I AM ART I AM HUMAN I AM ALIVE... with samplings of his own inspirations for music , film, fashion and all that surrounds him.

A muse to many, this model/artist/designer now is the fashion director to Mykromag the online new magazine venture with Sonny Groo and Harrison Gorman bringing a new taste of visual candy to the future of style and fashion online. As from the epic blog post “The Watchmen” from fellow stylemaker Sonny Groo states about Jean Paul Paula and their camaraderie with Christopher William van Damme, Charles Guislain, and Aynouk Tan : “I do hope we push your borders, because things can always be more ridiculous or crazy” ;and yes, he does.
