No one would wear that

I explored the idea of « the unwearable » through a full range of garments. What is unwearable? What does it become when fashion takes possession of it?

I explored the idea of « the unwearable » through a full range of garments. What is unwearable? What does it become when fashion takes possession of it? I also tried to understand how garments can be transformed into fashion items once they have been captured through the lens of a fashion image maker. The different statuses of each picture reveals the existence of cursors that the designer masters in order to make the image more desirable : morbidity, sexuality, absurdity…
This schizophrenic and self-referential approach aims at decrypting Fashion and its contradictions by practicing it at the same time, creating images as research materials and reassessing them. Fashion works by taking, borrowing everything that surrounds it, and makes transfiguration its main gesture.
