We were there!
Recently, we were invited to the LISAA College of Applied Arts (Paris) for the fashion section’s end-of-year project presentation. We thoroughly enjoyed discovering the work of the school’s 19 top students and being part of the professional jury assembled by course director Nadia Legendre.
The students exhibited the pieces that were emblematic of their work and presented an illustrated collection plan.
During the presentations, the students shared creatively on inspirational themes that included art, architecture and travel.
Giving real substance to these themes was their remarkable work which they communicated with imagination and observation, using embroidery, tumbles of silk, painted textiles, wooden weaving, and more. These young women – for only female students were selected this year – appropriated their materials, diverting and taming them, and never without a gentle hand.
We were incredibly impressed by the work of these young artists who, with bold creativity, adapted their textural imagination to the body via rather unusual, innovative yet aesthetic forms and ensembles.
Each artist told her tale through a collection put together with true professionalism in under two months.
