Conceived as a modular playground in collaboration with scenographer Georgi Stanishev, this exhibition begins with garments and accessories from Stéphane Ashpool’s early works and collaborations, notably with the Pigalle label. Accompanied by photographs and archival documents, these items illustrate the sustained creative dialogue between the designer and the Maisons d’art for close to 10 years.
The second sequence presents new pieces created specifically for the exhibition at la Galerie du 19M. Sculptural pieces that play with scale, materials, and functionality populate the exhibition. Samples, photographs, and videos reveal the making-of of this unique capsule collection.
To round things off, a movie theatre showing never-before-seen videos invites viewers to take a closer look at Stéphane Ashpool’s creative process, using textures, colours, and materials to create his work in the heart of the Maisons d’art workshops.
