Camille Bidault Waddington

Camille Bidault Waddington is a French fashion stylist known for her distinct eye and long-standing influence on editorial styling. Born in Paris, she began her career in the late 1990s and later moved to London, where she worked as a freelance stylist for a range of magazines. Her editorial work has appeared in publications such as Dazed, The Face, Purple, and Self Service, where her instinctive approach to dressing shaped the mood of early 2000s fashion imagery.

She is known for building characters through clothing, creating tension between refinement and eccentricity. Rather than focusing on trends, her styling often reflects a personal and lived-in perspective on fashion. Over the years, she has collaborated with photographers including David Sims, Inez Vinoodh, Nick Knight, Jamie Hawkesworth, and Harley Weir, developing a visual language that is both thoughtful and immediate.

In 2023, Study magazine released a special issue devoted to her work, compiling more than sixty images that traced the evolution of her career. She continues to contribute to titles like Self Service and AnOther Magazine, maintaining a steady presence in independent publishing.

Waddington’s personal style has evolved alongside her editorial work. In recent interviews, she has described a preference for simplicity and comfort, favoring trousers and flat shoes over the more elaborate looks of her past. She often cites books, photography, and art as sources of inspiration, reflecting a broader creative outlook that continues to influence how fashion is seen and felt today.
