Votre Art à ma façon
The process of designing arty and unique dresses by JUSTE UNE IMPRESSION being fundamentally an artistic process, it seemed obvious to me that this could be applied to other contemporary works, obviously with the agreement of their authors.
The idea being
to transpose art where we do not necessarily expect it (Pop Art, right?),
to focus differently on these artists to give them visibility,
but also and above all to give another perspective to the original work.
The photographs of the works are reworked (in particular in color density, sizes) before being printed and inked in the textile fiber permanently and indelibly ( no alteration whatever the number of machine washes at 30 ° ). The patronage is done manually by the designer in a subjective way to give a new perspective to the initial work necessarily truncated by the trapezoid cut of the dress.

my approach
my approach
Even if this exercise of highlighting artistic works through my textile design process is a priori transposable to a certain number of works, I have the postulate to choose both the works and the artists themselves, the human being as important to me as the work itself.
As a graphic designer, designer and creator, I have a graphic & aesthetic line ... as an artistic line of conduct, an editorial line for a coherent overall aesthetic & graphic.
These artistic collaborations have imposed themselves as aesthetic and human evidence, drawing from their respective universes other possible variations of my emblematic brand dresses.

Gilles OUAKI
French photographer Gilles Ouaki began his career through photojournalism, a real lifeline for this suburban child who could have turned inside out.
He finds his way, becoming the eyes of others. For twenty years, Gilles Ouaki, in turn a great reporter for the Parisian and then at Paris-Match, followed the news from the news to the glamor of the stars. Mesrine, Action Directe, Carlos, Ouaki's goal sublimates the death of a gangster or the smile of people. Between an evocation of Warhol's “electric chair” or Monory's “murders”, his pictures offer a direct relationship with realism. Ouaki obtained, in 1982, the Grand Prix of the City of Paris and the Grand Prix Paris Match for his work.
At the same time, the artist photographer develops a passion for contemporary art: "Artists are beacons that light up the world and our world needs it"! In 1998, Ouaki took the plunge and became a performer by exposing to FIAC the boss of Free Figuration, Robert Combas for “The Wall”, controlled hallucination of glittery graffiti and photos denouncing the modern man walled in “prison-society ”.
Gilles Ouaki is an artist of his time who provokes improbable encounters. Hunter of emotions, creator of dialogues, he does not forbid anything. In the Val d'Oise, in 2009 he established a new artistic biennial, "the Grand Bet [s] of Contemporary Art". The greatest artists were present: Wiliam Klein , ORLAN , Gérard Fromanger ...
In 2010, Gilles Ouaki joined the family of designers and presented his latest creation, Cheese during the tenth edition of Designer's Day. He offers a giant Brownie camera as a sofa, bookcase, plasma screen, lamp… a job which will earn him the qualification of “one of the most essential contemporary artists of his generation” (Current Art).
His talent is recognized by public and private actors on the art scene: from Designer's Day, Gilles Ouaki finds himself propelled to the Grand Palais to exhibit in solo show. He is presented as one of the 10 major world photographers at the “Paris Photo” 2010 show by Leica alongside Jane Evelyn Atwood or Stanley Green. The same year, for the 30 years of the L'Eclaireur conceptstore, Armand Hadida entrusted Gilles Ouaki with the organization of a performance for this anniversary.
But Gilles Ouaki especially appreciates the experience of percolation and hybridization: with Bye-Bye Polaroïd in 2009, he celebrated the end of the Polaroïd by developing a work of “sharing” with his artist friends. Objective: produce snapshots that become the support for a new work. Arman , Ben, Robert Combas, Bernard Venet, Nathalie Elemento, Fabrice Hyber, Joël Hubaut, Jean-Paul Goude, Erro, Monory, Orlan, Rancillac, Pierre Soulages, Jacques Villeglé, Yann Queffélec all responded!
In 2012, he did it again; this time, the work of alchemy works with the greats of Street Art, invited to intervene on vintage shots of the artist Ouaki. These black and white gangster and street images are revisited by streetarters. Result: Cope2, Faucheur, Monsieur Chat, Speedy Graphito, Konny, ThomThom, Paella ... 43 street art artists participate in NB & Coulour. But the artist does not forget his work as Performer, on the Pont des Arts with the operation I Lock You, Gilles Ouaki releases and breaks the padlocks of the mythical Parisian Bridge to immortalize them in large format at the Carrousel du Louvre during the Tranoï 2012.

Jean-Michel GNIDZAZ
After a decade of reflection devoted to geometric compositions, Jean-Michel Gnidzaz today breaks with pure abstraction, and gives a new orientation to his work. Since 2003, he has initiated a new series of portraits devoted to cultural icons of the 20th century. Struck by the persistence in the collective unconscious of certain images or photographs of major cultural personalities of the 20th century, in particular those which are synonymous with a rebellion against the established order, Jean-Michel Gnidzaz questions here their iconic status. By neutralizing the background of the original photography, by recomposing the portrait from games of bi and tri-color, flat and alternating colored bands which reintroduce a certain kineticism, it deprives these incunabula of contemporary history of an identification too immediate. Thus discarded for a moment from the consensus, from the agreed respect that is usually reserved for them, these popular idols find a certain capacity to harass the spectator. The process pushes us to take a quick historical step back to evolve our questions: what would the Beatles, James Dean, or even Coluche mean in our society today; what place will they occupy in the minds of future generations; will they escape the decorative status to which the mercantile exploitation of their image has relegated them? No one has the answer yet, but the work of Jean-Michel Gnidzaz wisely questions. This new series of portraits, and the flood of questions it raises are certainly posed as a new essential milestone in her artistic journey and makes us curious about her future developments.
