YOUNG EMPERORS are a duo of French visual artists formed by Isabelle Chaput and Nelson Tiberghien. The real life couple is based in New York, where they explore visual arts through performance, fashion photography and film. Under the appellation of Cesar Love Alexandre and their influential performance portal Young Emperors, they unified with a sovereign dream of working under the value of love in real life and professionally renouncing to their own name and gender with an identifiable, matching look. YE are best known for their original shortform videos, which have garnered great acclaim. The whimsical and unique creativity shown through their content have led to partnerships with brands such as BMW, Chanel, Coca Cola, Fendi, Gucci, Mont Blanc, Prada, Rabanne, Salvatore Ferragamo, Selfridges, and Uniqlo. Behind the camera, they have also directed campaigns for brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès, and H&M. They have appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, alongside editorial features in U.S. Vogue, Vogue Japan, Vogue Thailand, Harper’s Bazaar, and The Cut. In 2025, the pair published their first photobook “The Art of Influence” in collaboration with Meta.
