NATANE BOUDREAU
Studio Boudreau Founder, the iconic 90s model Natane Boudreau transitioned into a multifaceted creative force. Her work as Purpose Driven Coach, Creative Consultant and Curator of Transformational Workshops has been deeply inspired and informed by her lifetime collaborating with the world’s most celebrated creatives which has set Natane apart not only as a Transformational Consultant, but a Leader of Leaders. Natane’s work specializes in guiding her clients to Unearth their Purpose and express it authentically and powerfuly in their personal or professional lives.
Natane’s history in fashion began in the 80’s at the age of 3 when she was discovered by Steven Meisel and Bruce Weber who cast her as Andie McDowell’s daughter for a series of Calvin Klein ads. Shortly after, she graced the cover of Vogue Bambini at age 5 and acted in Woody Allen’s, Radio Days, at the age of 7. A decade later, after being rediscovered by Calvin Klein, she became an iconic supermodel of the 90’s waif era. She worked extensively with Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Mario Sorrenti, Albert Watson and Steven Klein, and walked runways for Calvin Klein, Chanel, Versace, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Chloe, John Galliano, Junya Watanebe, and Ralph Lauren to name but a few. She graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, W and Vanity Fair and has starred in advertising campaigns for Dolce and Gabbana, Zac Posen, The Gap, Levi’s, Clinique, Shiseido and Pantene. She starred alongside Chloe Sevigny and Marc Jacobs in Sonic Youth’s iconic video, Sugar Cane, and starred in a solo role in Duncan Sheik’s breakout video, Barely Breathing. She also starred as herself in the highly acclaimed fashion documentary, Unzipped, directed by Douglas Keeve. Her world was formed through the osmosis of legends.
Following on, after receiving degrees from London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and Yale for Directing, she apprenticed under Ivo van Hove, the Belgian Tony Award winning avant-garde director, on his production of Network at the National Theatre in London and on his production of Hanya Yanagihara’s acclaimed book, A Little Life at International Theatre, Amsterdam. Shortly after, Natane continued her work with van Hove producing films for Network on Broadway, Mahagonny at the Grand Theatre De Provence, and the Met Opera, Dead Man Walking. In 2019, Natane attended Yale Drama School’s directing program. Natane has successfully merged her experience in both fashion and film as a partner in N + N Films, alongside her mother, the legendary creative director and producer Nian Fish. She’s written, directed and produced over 200 short films on fashion and the arts, working closely with the prestigious CFDA. Together, they have created films on Rick Owens, Riccardo Tisci, Gloria Steinem, Sarah Jones, David Bowie, Betsey Johnson, Oribe and Pat McGrath. And as she honed and shared their stories, she delved deep with each subject into the essence of creative genius and accomplishment.
Storytelling, self-expression and authenticity lie at the heart of her work as a coach, consultant and curator, Natane channels a rare ability to access these traits in her clients, igniting them to script their own story and create their own legacy.
Alongside her decades-long affair with fashion and film, Natane lives a parallel life, one of higher learning and expansion. For over 30 years, Natane’s been a student of conscious raising, transformational work, and studying with master teachers and coaches. From Transcendental Meditation to life and business coaching, plant medicine, and a deep focus on physical health and wellbeing, Natane’s steeped in the most powerful tools for creating true evolution. Here again, she’s studied with the best from the brilliant leaders at Landmark Education, to master teachers of the Female Empowerment Workshops to renowned coach Martin Cohen to Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation. With a deep commitment to sharing these practices, Natane has opened these doors to her colleagues. The David Lynch Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing TM to those most at risk and living under the most extreme conditions of toxic stress, hired her to serve as the Senior Advisor for the Fashion Industry and the Arts. In this role, she brings Transcendental Meditation to the fashion world at the seed level by creating events for fashion luminaries and helping to create a CFDA Health Initiative Panel focused on the well-being of models.
