Kiki's unique look and charisma made her an iconic figure of the avant-garde art scene in Paris. She also performed in several avant-garde films and cabaret shows, showcasing her talents as a singer and dancer. In 1929, Kiki released her autobiographical book "Souvenirs de Kiki", which chronicled her bohemian lifestyle and experiences as a model and performer.
