Traits Trés Mode - Nouvelle illustration de mode française
Fashion illustration is beginning to find new forms of narrative and aesthetic values. The new style of illustration is no longer a mere visual representation of fashion objects: rather, it transforms the mental worlds and fantasies embodied by those objects into images, while in turn; each new image nourishes the next of fashion’s ephemeral.
Gradually, a new landscape is taking shape in the graphic art of fashion illustration, a landscape peopled by images bordering on the contemporary arts, yet never abandoning its demanding aesthetic heritage – a development that is shaping the unique artistic world of contemporary French fashion illustration.
Traits Trés Mode (French Fashion Illustration Now) is part of the Singapore Fashion Week 2006. Curated by Cédric Morisset, with assistant curator, Hélène Convert.
