As a child, I loved Legos and Duplos, I spent hours building colourful houses, zoos, train stations and even small lego cities.
I like to match it with clothes clothes, theirs primary colours and their square recognisable shape have a wonderful aesthetic potential like the "Lego shoes by Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga in 2008 inspired by those colourful bricks.
I was inspired by Castelbajac 2008 collection which use lego print. I wanted to go further and stitch real lego on fabric.
Lego are quite a universal game, everybody knows their shapes and played with them during their childhood. People are really emotional about it, when they see a lego jacket, their are immediately projected in their own past. It trigger off old memories, Lego is my Proust'madeleine. It can start conversation and create a social link between people who don't know each other. People stops me in the street and ask me: why are you wearing Lego?
Why not?
Everything is possible. I like the ideas of clothes with relief, something that you can touch and have a different texture. Lego shoulder-pads are not really practical in the tube but I don't care I never take public transport!
For the Lego dress, I had to make a hole in hundreds of lego with a small drill and sew them one by one on the fabric, listening hours of philosophy podcasts on my computer while I was doing this!
