My Master collection « Réenchantement », which means returning to a certain form of magic, speaks about a depressed society who has lost faith in spirituality, and in the beauty of the living world. I’m questioning how we come to this point, and how we could bring this light back. We can project the divine on things that surround us, on bodies, on ourselves. By putting the sacred back into our lives.There is somehow a necessity for elevation, rebirth, which include spiritual and corporal transformation.I wanted to storytell my own contemporary mythology, between women that inspire me everyday, and ugly female monsters (chimera) turning them into beautiful heroes. This process helps us requestioned the standards and norms of beauty. By highlighting draping with textile techniques I have developed by my own or by collaborating with people, I wanted to work on this idea of wearing a « new skins » by loosing our old envelop and dressing a new one, more magical, closer to the animal skin.The idea was to treat the skin in many different ways highlighting craftsmanship with different morphologies. Second concept was also to play with the notion of « light », projecting it, shadows, gradients, such as crystals, or like the work of symbolist painters. In the context of an individualised hurried society, my objective is to make us think about the slow making of garments, the uniqueness, while making Couture more accessible, showing a more open, mystifying, enigmatic femininity.
