Odile Monod

Odile Monod is an art director with an extensive background working for internationally renowned beauty conglomerates across Europe and Asia.

Her love for Korean beauty began over a decade ago. At that time, there was little information on K-beauty available for English-speaking audiences, which inspired her to learn Korean as a second language. This endeavor allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of the industry, its practices, and the culture behind Korean beauty.

Based in South Korea, her longstanding passion for Korean beauty led her to create The Monodist, a project dedicated to sharing her professional knowledge of the Korean beauty industry with those who wish to navigate the complex world of K-beauty.

Why The Monodist

The Monodist, founded by Odile Monod, is dedicated to sharing in-depth and professional insights into the Korean beauty industry.

Having personally experienced the struggle of finding trustworthy information, Odile Monod felt compelled to create a platform that offers professional insights into the Korean beauty industry.

Odile Monod is an art director with an extensive background working for internationally renowned beauty conglomerates across Europe and Asia. In her current role, she is responsible for curating the brand image of a European beauty company in the Asian market, overseeing promotional campaigns across diverse platforms including traditional media, digital, and events. Her specialisation lies in helping foreign companies create localised content for the Asia-Pacific market, with a strong focus on South Korea and China.

As part of her job, she receives regular training on Korean marketing trends, regulations, technologies, R&D, and more. By leveraging this extensive knowledge and professional expertise, she is able to provide in-depth insights on the Korean beauty industry to her audience.

Rather than simply providing generic product reviews, The Monodist delves into the history, innovations, technology, and trends that have shaped the Korean beauty industry. The goal is to encourage foreign audiences to view Korean beauty through a different lens, highlighting its innovative power and ground-breaking products beyond lengthy routines or passing fads.
