L’embellie - The Upturn
This collection focuses on the world of ancient statuary linked to much more contemporary dress codes. I extract from the sculptures ways of draping and pleating the fabric. I have also stiffened certain parts of my pieces to give them an unexpected twist.
Worn by an emancipated and party girl, this collection brings together couture looks and much more casual pieces. The clothes are layered together and creates unexpected looks.
A large part of this project is about up cycling: the re-appropriation of existing clothes that I bleach, cut and sequence to then form new pieces. An attention is given to the bleaching process to give a mineral touch to the jeans.

The title of this collection refers to this particular year that is 2020. The fact that I was able to hang on to my work during the months of confinement, and having to think of innovative solutions with the material I had at home has greatly improved my living environment and my mental health.
