18/10 le matin
is that intense moment when the tension is at its height, this short moment just before wavering in an extreme emotional state like anger, sadness, fear. It is in this atmosphere of permanent tension that my silhouettes take place, embodying cinematographic characters.
The clothes are internally thought of as a reflection of this tension. They serve to break the hard and violent codes linked to these stereotypical male characters, to highlight their emotions and torments.
The use of tights reflects a subtle promiscuity between intimacy, emotion and femininity. Sometimes it is shown as an unveiling of its being in broad daylight. Sometimes it is concealed allowing a deformation of the garment.

The Gold Digger
The male gold digger 2.0 is this man who was fed up with this
« overvirilization ». He understood that to seduce most women, it was better to go their way. The gold digger is of course a show off who’s doing too much, mixing fake and luxury for even more bad taste.
He wears a pair of jeans created from those of his former victims. So proudly parading his trophies. As well as a bustier made out of woven pantyhose for the best Chanel tweed imitation.

The Femme Fatale
Unlike the femme fatale who attracts men with her mystery, plays on false pretenses, who hides her emotions and thoughts, the bad boy attracts the wicker he appears, the more he shows his impulsiveness and the danger he represents.
He wears a very manly explosive tank top for the bad boy side, and vinyl pants for the sexy boy side. Hidden pistol shoes to remind us that danger is omnipresent.

The Hysteric
In the age of teenage crisis, everything may seem normal when he has already left our reality. Locked in his anger and suffering, he forgets the space of time. Day or night, whatever, dressing is the least of his worries.
The pajamas are then his formal costume. And what better than bunny slippers to take him to his fantasy world.

The Castrating Mother
Who better than the godfather to equal the castrating mother. Boss of bosses, he’s the one who has to embody all the characteristics but better. He is the toughest, the most violent, the most virile, the coldest, the most powerful.
He is the man you fear because, behind the surface, he is utterly mad and impulsive—at any moment, life could end.
Symbol of wealth and empowerment, he wears an Armani striped suit, Versace shoes, not to mention the curb chains because it is God who gives.

The Amazon
The pariah must also maintain a certain status, holding his head high and with great pride. He is already excluded from society, he must especially not show to the others that this affects him. But by dint of being pushed aside, his tension rises until the moment he takes a bat and smashes everything in his path. He’s the guy with nothing left to lose, who’s overwhelmed with life.
He wears a thirty-year-old coat, underneath, a tank top and an oversized worker’s short, and heavy rangers.
