Barbie Jewels

As a kid I use to play with barbie, but as an "adult" I like to play with the concept of it. By destroying barbies, I guess, you destroy the feminine ideal imposed to you since your early childhood.

In general, I like introducing narrative into jewels and clothes that arouse emotions. When people see theses jewels I want them to build a story in their mind.

People could be amazed, fascinated surprised, delighted, embarrassed by this fixed silly smile and creepy eyes that stare at you , disgusted, ill at ease but Barbie jewels leave no one indifferent.

I find them quite baroque and Rococo, it's bring you in an other mysterious, bizarre and worrying world.

Wen you wear them on a facebook picture, the automatic face detection ask you to tag your friends!

Welcome in my world

I am a young designer in fashion costume and jewellery. I graduated last year in an MA in Performance Practice & Design at Central Saint Martins in London. I'm particularly interested in costume design, the performative aspect of costume and it social impact on people.

From my background in performance, the importance of clothing is how it allows you to stage yourself, to give information about who you are, or more precisely, about what you want people think you are.

I'm from Paris but I don't have at all the elegant minimalistic French style, I'm more attracted by bright colours, mismatch prints, shiny materials, over the top dresses. I try to build clothes with material which are not fabric, crossing boundaries of the costume experiment. I think that any object from everyday life can become a fashion accessory. Anything can be stitched on to clothes.

Basically, I like CYCLING and RECYCLING. I love going to charity shops or flee markets and seeing the creative potential of everyday objects. i have always created costume with nothing, sometimes with things I found in the street. I like to give second life to old objects and divert them from their original function. In my creations, i'm using a lots of toys, as a common reference from the collective imagery, a reminder of childhood that everybody shares in every country. I like the idea of transforming a piece of clothes into piece of art. With my creations I would like to foster peoples’ creativity and make them proud of themselves in feeling unique, original and different.

If you have some barbies you are not playing with anymore, Legos, little cars or toys, please give it to me, I will use them and give them an other live!
