Webbings included to the dress, redraw the body and emphasize the gesture. I’ve imagined a dancer’s moves and what kind of clothing would be able to get along with them. The work done with the webbings allows to add a graphic and colored facet to the outfit.

F R E E FIGHT TRAINING EXTRACT OF MY PHILOSOPHY ESSAY ENTITLED «FREE FIGHT, STUDY ACT OF VIOLENCE». La violence exhale le besoin d’affirmation identitaire ou physique. Nous sacrifions à ces rituels tiraillé entre dégout et fascination. Alors que la violence est de mieux en mieux canalisé, les sociétés nous apparaissent plus touchées que jamais. Face à cette dystopie, l’exorcisme de cette violence semble plus que jamais nécessaire. Le projet Free Fight questionne le geste violent comme moyen atypique d’appréhender le corps, entre retenue et pulsion. C’ est par la prestation scénique que le potentiel subversif de la violence s’exprime, s’exhibe et se contient, mettant en scène l’attaque ou la parade guerrière. Ce projet élabore une réflexion sur l’esthétique du geste et le vêtement, en référence au costume de guerre, si spectaculaire qu’il semble pensé pour la scène. Les panoplies conçues sont tantôt des carapaces de protections faits de lourdes pièces, tantôt dynamiques, en mailles fines, sangles et matériaux à usage technique, néoprène ou tubes de plastique. On trouve une forme d’exubérance dans ces tenues dont l’esthétique urbaine est tiré vers une complète démonstration théâtrale Il s’agit de permettre à la société de regarder la violence et de la mettre en scène car la nier ne la fait pas disparaître.

FARNIENTE U R B A I N
Participation at the 22nd edition of the contest. Selected to present 3 entire outfits during a fashion show attended by 500 spectators . For this edition I’ve worked on the theme “Farniente Urbain”. Talons Aiguilles’ goal is to promote young designers in Europe through a prestigious fashion show .
« (...) Where stress doesn’t exist, where the most important values are cared, where wellbeing life is privileged and taking time for oneself is allowed. In spite of what it affirms, this city gets carried away by american culture and its need to consume. Daring Vancouver, I admire you! Your sensitivity makes you awesome, incredible, cozy, friendly, farniente and urban.»
