Didier Lockwood

Didier Lockwood and his wife Caroline Casadesus are a kind of couple that don’t exist anymore. He composed ‘Mouettes‘ and is a star jazzman known as the "Russian Bernstein". She is a red-haired, flamboyant opera singer. From this union of jazz and classical music, an extraordinary show was born that goes from theatre to opera : ‘Le Jazz et la Diva‘.We await the album ‘Waltz Club‘, due out soon from Universal, after Lockwood has celebrated his jubilee at Olympia. Caroline Casadesus, diva and wife of Didier Lockwood.

First memories
My mother’s handbag. A large leather beggar’s bag containing an incredible bric à brac in an unimaginable disorder.

First feelings
A handbag, for me, is to carry my home with me and the world at hand’s reach. Knocking about in mine are photographs of the children, an overcharged diary, pencils, make-up, toothbrush, paper, bills, passport (to be able to go anywhere in the world at any moment), credit cards, reds, greens, yellows… A cheque book, some homeopathic granules for the voice, some headphones, a little folded bag to avoid plastic pockets that harm the environment, a spoon, a book… This handbag, to me, is like my perfume, I am incredibly faithful to it. I never change it even at night when I have to be well-dressed.

Final desires
Women’s handbags have always made me smile, and they must go on. They are witnesses of a life, the reflection of a personality and receive treasures that could spark off a novel.
