Its story
It took me 45 years to admit to myself that I am an Artist. A whole reflection on the notion of Art led me to launch this triptych “Wearable Art” in order to dust it off.
I wanted a different vision: less academic, more accessible, more personal. Where artworks are worn, crumpled, and live with us.
To do this, I chose to illustrate three great classical disciplines: painting, sculpture, and music.
“Composition” is the first part, representing painting through Mondrian’s work of the same name (at least, its most well-known version).
The choice of pattern was obvious: the smaller version of “Échiquier,” born from a collective “mystery sewing” (a type of creative challenge I love), was perfect for its geometric nature and square-based divisions.
As for the materials, they came from a meticulous search among haute couture leather offcuts at Sybel Leather, combined with pieces from a skirt and a jacket by a major Parisian fashion house.
The result: this crossbody bag is practical, fun, and chic, proclaiming loud and clear a love of Art.
