The Essential List: Thomas Laget
Head of integrated production at Sid Lee Paris changes his favourite photographer daily and is more than partial to a pastis
Since 2010 Thomas Laget has been a part of the Sid Lee Paris family and when he’s not heading up production on projects for brands such as KFC, Skyn or Honda he can often be found grabbing a dim sum lunch in the French capital’s 10th arrondissement, or possibly nursing a glass of pastis.
He’s no Parisian native though, and hails from what he calls the ‘dirty south’ of Montpellier, which boasts an enviable average 300 days of sun per year - presumably where he learned to surf.
He won’t allow bacon in his egg and cheese sandwich.
Find out this and more intriguing facts in his Essential List.
