Interview with Jennifer Neyt
This Nobodinoz Talks takes us to Bordeaux, where light, authenticity, and an eye for meaningful interiors come together through the vision of Anne-Sophie, founder of Inside Closet. A storyteller of spaces and the lives lived within them, she invites us into her world of creativity, family warmth, and everyday inspirations that shape the way we inhabit our homes.
After twelve years of shaping the voice of one of fashion's most iconic titles, Jennifer has chosen a new rhythm: one guided by family, freedom and creativity.
"My name is Jennifer Neyt, I am 39 years old, I am a journalist and content creator, former digital editor-in-chief at Vogue Paris."
What is your background, and how did you come to specialize in fashion?
I worked twelve years at Vogue, where I started as an intern after my communication studies at ISCOM. I then climbed the ranks until I took over the digital department, with the mission of developing the brand on all platforms: website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc… My role was to link the print editorial team and the digital team, so that everything revolved around a common vision.
I have always loved fashion, as far back as I can remember. It was in me from birth, because I have absolutely no one in my entourage who is related to it, closely or remotely. It is my language, the expression of my creativity, a way to reinvent myself every day, to show the multiple facets of my personality.
How would you describe your family life today?
There are four of us: three humans (my husband Augustin, our son Gaston, aged 3, and me) and one dog, our bitch Laïka, adopted from La Réunion via the Association Sauvade. We're very close and spend a lot of time together. My family life is my absolute priority: it comes before everything else. Being independent allows me to put her at the centre of my life, which I couldn't have done when I was at Vogue. We recently moved to the west of Paris to be closer to nature.

What does a typical day look like for you, between your work and family life? Do you have a particular organization to juggle between the two?
Our days always start with breakfast together (often with honey toast from Les Fermes de Gally). Then I drop Gaston off at his school, just at the entrance to the Parc de Saint-Cloud, where I start my day among the trees, walking Laïka. These early-morning moments in nature have become essential to my equilibrium. I then go on to appointments in Paris or work from home. I'm lucky enough to be independent, so I don't have office hours. I pick up Gaston almost every day after school and we go for a snack in the forest opposite. I'm extremely lucky to be able to spend time with him, and I realise that not everyone can do that, but I can't imagine my life any other way. Every moment spent with my family is so precious to me, I savour every second of it. There's nothing that makes me feel more aligned, alive and grounded in the present than spending time with my son.

Is there an activity or a family moment that you particularly enjoy at home? A simple moment that makes everyone feel good?
Preparing a fire at home has become a real ritual. Gaston loves to collect pieces of wood and pine cones during our walks in the Parc de Saint-Cloud to help his dad light the fire. He even has a little box next to the fireplace for his finds. Once the fire is lit, we curl up on the sofa with books. I love the École des Loisirs books, and I buy them at the Chantelivre bookshop in Paris every time we go to La Maison des histoires, or at second-hand shops, or sometimes on Le Bon Coin. Gaston loves books, and I'm so happy to pass on my passion for reading to him.
What place does decoration hold in your daily life? What inspires you when you imagine or transform an interior
I love natural colours and materials, especially wood and especially oak (my favourite tree), but also rattan or rope (as on Gaston's wooden bed). These textures instantly soften and warm a room, and give it charm. They're living materials that develop a patina over time, and I like the idea that they tell a story. I also have a lot of vintage furniture that I've found at flea markets.
As a brand, we always think about how families will love and adopt our furniture or objects. Do you keep objects or furniture as if they were treasures from your childhood?
Yes, of course! As I said, I love vintage pieces, and also new furniture that evolves over time, that can be passed down within a sibling group or from one generation to the next. They are full of memories. For example, I have a small vintage wardrobe in Gaston's room that I originally found for my niece years ago, when I didn't have children yet. Now that she's grown up, my sister gave it to me for Gaston. It's pale pink but goes very well with the colorful decor of his room. I don't like the idea of blue for boys and pink for girls: you have to detach yourself from these clichés! And I like that this wardrobe has seen Emma (my niece), Eliott (my nephew) and now Gaston grow up.

If you had to summarize your family adventure in one word or phrase, what would it be?
A sudden and late happy alignment of planets! We went from 1 to 4 in one year.
I left Vogue in May 2021, adopted my dog Laïka the following September, met my boyfriend in November, and got pregnant with Gaston three months later. He arrived exactly one year after I met his dad, a soulmate encounter. I am convinced that we have known each other in previous lives and that we took a long time to finally find each other in this one!
