Fox lady

I had to make a foxy cabaret costume for the show FOX SOLO' @ FROCK ON FROCK OFF. The actress and director of the show leave me a great freedom with the design. I get inspired by the roaring twenties for the rustles and especially by Jean Paul Gaultier 2008 collection with its great fur coast.

I try to combine it with French baroque 17-18 century aesthetic. It reminds me Jean de la Fontaine Fables where the writer resorts to anthropomorphism in order to depict courtiers represented by animals.

Actually, I didn't have to make a naturalistic fox costume but a costume which has the reference and connotation of it. So I use fur and orange tones colours to remind the characteristic of the animal but I kept it quite human like.

and last but not least.. the fury shoes which I find very cute!

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!
