In a way, it is less work for me, than also posing in the
costume I just focus on the costume
design job. let the model or the
performer interpret my creation.

It is quite tricky because to embody my designs, you need to understand
the character of the costume and not let them wearing you but still have the
charisma to wear it a subtle balance to find.
This is a meeting between 2 creativity, the performer’s one
and mind, sometimes I see model wearing my creation posing just as if it was a
fashion item and it look a bit akward wereas you need the personality to embody
the character. That is why I usually prefer performers.

I just give away the cloths, giving free rein for the
setting, the aesthetic, not being the stylist or the artisitic director just
collecting the dresses back with the final pictures.
I like the fact that my costume have their own life, they
are working for me while I am doing something else at the same time.

« I love to create work that
communicates a creative idea or a specific intention.
To me modeling is an extension of my art practice. I find shoots with a theme, message or concept behind them the most productive. As an artist I am capable of thinking in a creative way and helping with the construction of shoot themes etc. A lot of my work as a performance artist involves the creation of characters and styling them myself, and so I have a large wardrobe including latex, masks, haute couture pieces, vintage pieces, fetish and much much more. »

'Amy Kingsmill, is an artist who,
through incorporating her love of all things surreal and fetishistic into her
performance work, creates looks that viewers have described as disturbing and
arresting, but also empowering. ' -Rachel Hardwick, Skin Two.
She recreated her all world around the dress, I made for
her with Loulou Reloulou (made with more
than 50 colourful dolls).

This dress is made out of thousands of piece of colored
rubber.
The fact that is not fabric make an amazing motion while
twirling.

The story of this dress come from a facebook status. A Facebook designer friend using a lot of rubber in her work, moving away was
giving away a big bag full of rubber . I jumped on the chance and went the day
after collecting the rubber with my big suitcase.
Like in the majority of my creation,
the idea come from the material rather the design, it is like a reverse process
where the final garnement exit because I found an interesting material and not
the contrary, whitout this gift, I would never have made this dress and not
even think about doing it.
I was inspired by the rubber material being the rubber man
in my friend Mette Sterre show, wearing a 30 kilos rubber thousands of
rubber bans put together,

In a last post I was wearing myself this afro-inspired
tribal costume but I felt it would be nice to get a black model to match with
the black head dolls.
