Méduse :
From Monster to Muse
2023
Méduse Caravaggio's "Medusa" is an iconic work of art dating from the 16th century. It depicts the myth of Medusa, who was raped by Poseidon and transformed into a Gorgon. According to legend, she had the hair of snakes and could turn anyone who looked at her into stone. Depicted as a solitary monster living in an isolated cave, Medusa is demonized and the snakes in her hair symbolize the wild, indomitable nature of women.
The concept was to transform Medusa into a symbol of feminism and anger towards patriarchy. The photos capture its petrifying allure and fascinating character. She represents a strong, powerful and inspiring woman, transcending convention.
Delosantos' Internship
2023
Delosantos' Internship During a 3-month internship in Lima, Peru, I had the opportunity to participate in the development of the new Delosantos collection. Created by two Peruvian designers in 2019, Delosantos is a high-end, Haute Couture and ready-to-wear brand. Assigned to make all the Haute Couture pieces in the "Huaccachina" collection, I was able to work with new materials and perfect my technical skills. Shown in the photo are a top and a dress made from fish scales left over from the Amazon (an entirely natural, local and biodegradable material).
This Peruvian experience enabled me to discover a new culture, new materials and new techniques. But above all, I met extraordinary people with whom I was able to share my own knowledge.
TRACKSUIT
2023
Tracksuit This project is a group work. We started from this translucent textile with a regular all-over pattern that echoes 60s patterns and Op'Art. To transpose this textile to the field of sports and tracksuits, we chose to create two pieces inspired by the 60s. A look that contrasts in its formal and material relationships:
- a loose-fitting hoodie with puffed, raglan sleeves and a longer back that can be slid over the head like a hood. This piece evokes comfort, adaptability (temperature, warm-up, movement...) and modularity.
- a rigid trapeze mini-skirt in white vinyl. Its minimalist length refers to the body liberation of the 60s.
Businesswoman
Armor, 2023
This project proposes a revenge on the history of the political scene, where women in power find themselves the victims of sexist behavior on the part of their colleagues. A form of French tradition, with deep-rooted machismo and a toxicity that is rarely questioned.
This project proposes a revenge on the history of the political scene, where women in power find themselves the victims of sexist behavior on the part of their colleagues. A form of French tradition, with deep-rooted machismo and a toxicity that is rarely questioned. Here, I've created an armored dress highlighting women's curves and forms, crafted from second-hand men's shirts, blazers and suit pants. trousers. A patchwork of sleeves, collars and legs to create a unique piece of a new kind. With an ironic eye, this creation is a kind of revenge on society and men's vision of women. Today, a powerful woman is defined not only by her cognitive capabilities but also an inspiring woman who dares to be who she is.
IN BETWEEN WORLDS
Extension(s), 2022
One material the other immaterial, the soul and the body intertwine, form a union but reflect a fundamental dilemma. This contrast between the interior and the exterior thus creates a very strong duality, lost between complementarity and opposition.
The soul is constantly evolving, subtle and invisible, it transforms and moves according to the situations we go through. It has the freedom to regress, to stagnate or to advance. It is the architect of our house, the body. It is in our inner self that the beauty of our human condition resides, specific to each person, it individualizes us and allows us to express our essence in the world.
TAILORING
2022
Here I imagined and produced a made-to-measure product, from mood-board to pattern-making to realization. This pants project was rewarding because it was both technical and creative. Imagining and then bringing my ideas to life. The pants were made from a curtain I'd found in a thrift shop, because the ecological dimension is something I'm very concerned about.
SKINS
Drawstrings, 2022
Duality of skins. This group project emphasized the diversity of bodies, morphologies, skin colors and identities. We are all born with a specific appearance that characterizes a part of our identity, but with the arrival of social networks, conformity, the concern for perfection and non-tolerance have become obstacles to this beautiful diversity.
Upcycled synthetic and plastic materials used for the top. Narrow drawstrings alluding to young and pink skin as well as cosmetic surgery. This asymmetrical top contrasts with a skirt valuing different skin tones and morphologies thanks to the use of tinted raw canvases and thick drawstrings forming the folds of the skin.
DUFFLE BAGS
Up-cycling personal project, 2021
This project was motivated by a personal situation that I cared about. My brother used to pile up his old basketball jerseys in the corner of the closet after the season. However, he didn't get rid of them for sentimental value. But why not display something you are proud of? It's a part of our identity, our personality, our past.
In this way, I reused the basketball jerseys by creating a patchwork and incorporated them into my sports bag design. In this way, the bag becomes both a functional and emotional object as a portfolio of the teams the player participated in.
INNER RUSTLE
Limits of duality, 2022
