(Lle Cent Mes) - The Altar.A Closer View Of The Previous Room.

(L’Île Cent Âmes) - The Altar. A closer view of the previous room. 

I like complicated sets, it may not be easy to interact with them, but it's easier to imagine the atmosphere of the room? Also it's say a lot about the character who's living here, and maybe I have underestimated the time it will take to draw a whole voodoo altar but at least I had fun doing it :)

Oh et pourquoi l’île Cent Âmes me direz-vous, aussi, je passe en français parce que #flemme, afin de vous raconter la légende de ce bout d’île, perdu non loin de la Perle des Antilles (Haïti pour les intimes).

Ce bout d’île donc, sur lequel vinrent à mourir les inconscients pas très doués sur les mers, et qui venaient malencontreusement se crasher sur les écueils au large de ce caillou sans vie. Au bout d’un moment les gens ont fini par comprendre qu’il fallait éviter de voguer un peu trop proche de l’île pour éviter d’égratigner son bateau, mais les récits funestes n’ont fait que consolider le mythe de l’île maudite hantée par les esprits des marins, des pirates ou autres décédés sur ses rivages. Ah, oui, et personne n’y vit parce que c’est vraiment pas un lieu habitable, c’est juste un caillou sur l’eau, mais des gens ont affirmé avoir entendu le chant des esprits, comme “une centaine de voix s’élevant depuis l’île vers les cieux” d’où le nom, quoi. Des gens ont aussi affirmé que des trésors s’y trouveraient. Mais ne comptez pas sur la seule occupante “vivante” de l’Île, qui en a fait son refuge depuis quelques siècles, pour confirmer ou non cette partie de la légende.

(I checked the translation on deepl.com for my followers who don’t speak french it's...understandable. haha)

Find the list here to understand what i’m rambling about

Everything looks so complex but honestly it's just because the fashion dialect loves obscur terms. Anyway I made some inspiration moodboards and I will explain briefly each theme of the challenge, if you have a few minutes to read them! (only in english because i’m tired sorry ;-;)

1. I pay a tribute to the traditional and modern Chinese style of fashion when in

2. I explore the impact of Chinese aesthetics (art, pattern, porcelaine, calligraphy, movies, architecture etc etc.) on Western fashion.

3. well you know, cubism. Geometrical stuffs, Indeterminate forms, collage, that dude Picasso

4. think of a fashionable Android, high tech stuff, Metahuman, cyberfashion and new materials

5. I stick to the theme a bit more, it's like, what if I can embroider leds on a dress (think of claire danes sparkly dress at the gala in 2016) or making lace with carbon fiber, 3D print mesh clothes idk idk 

6.I'll take this one very literally, because the exhibition was about “diverse clothes, mostly non-European, folded and draped on the human body rather than cut and seamed”

(This is a tribute to McQueen but you don't have to do outfits “a la McQueen” since the real subject is “Savage Beauty”. Find some inspiration here, the other galleries explored the romantic mind, the romantic nationalism, and romantic exoticism in Mcqueen works.) 

7. so yeah Victorian Gothic, let's go for the inhumane and curious and also strange and ethereal)

8.(not a big fan of the term primitivism but I didn't create the names in the exhibit.... Think of wild stuffs, prehistoric fashion rebellious and raw, bestial, royal and noble, the untamed state of nature that kind of aesthetic) 

9.(this one is a bit tricky since in the exhibition it's was about natural inspiration meet technology, so idk, my take is strange alien fashion, high tech organic, extraterrestrial stuff, untouched by the man, glorious and scary )

10. Poiret: art nouveau to art déco, no more corsets, a lot of draped fabric, new forms of clothing and also Orientalism sorry

11. the fashion's take on the costume, equipment and/or superpowers of superheroes and superheroines. Mine for day 11 is“Batman but make it fashion.” 

12. The Mutant Body was one topic of the exhibition, it may be a bit redundant with some other theme of this month, maybe the other ones will inspire you (link) 

13. hmm, well, the spirit of Mme. Merteuil possess a richly crafted baroque rococo chair and

14. A lot of white and beige and folded and draped fabric and translucide mousselines, some neoclassical art, influenced by colorless marble sculptures

15. Now it's your time to draw the actual reincarnation of an important Greek goddess (with more color than white and beige) with a focus on the symbolic objects associated with the deity (you can guess that I chose Hera)

16. A nice transition with the previous theme, it's a tribute to the exuberant brand, the vivid colors and patterns that is its signature

(Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between. this theme looks complicated but it is not. I think? It's just...abstract themes lmao, pick two contradictory notions like she did (link), and “breaks down the imaginary walls between these dualisms, exposing their artificiality and arbitrariness“. Be free.

17.I choose then/now because it's can be a journey between "old self" and "new self". The impermanent state of the self. birth, live, and death that kind of thing.

18. For Self/other it can be an introspection/outrospection, cultural differences, being stuck between tradition and modern world, if this help to understand. 

19. I don't know yet for clothes/not clothes. Don't ask me. Don't forget to be exuberant! It's fashion but it must be MoMA worthy

20. This one is easy I guess. The irony of a democratic, do it yourself and anti-establishment way of life seeing through the fashion industry

21.Glam and sparkles and diamonds, an hommage to the icons of the 40's-50's Hollywood, fur, feathers and velvet dress, beautiful women and handsome men! and vice versa

22. retro Hollywood x retro Bollywood, Hollywood glamor and Indian elegance in a shiny shimmering opulent rendezvous

23. melancholic red flower on a black background, very severe, very spanish but nostalgic, somewhere between the og Cristobal Balenciaga and the actual ugly shoes Balenciaga 

(Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination i know this is the theme that everyone's waiting! Or not. You don't need help to understand these concept thank to the heavily presence of Christianity everywhere but anyway)

24. The Mom of Jesus and other blessed women 

25. Fashion inspired by colorful glass and gothic architecture

26. Fashion inspired by religious objects also mosaics

27. a break ! Bakst and Diaghilev influences, Theatrical and exuberant dance costumes, art nouveau to art déco and also Orientalism but this time with a more, Russian and Balkan influence in the design and patterns

28. Angels and demons (a classic dualism you can also do just one of them)

29. A bit of a catch-all term, can focus on the very pious people or their struggle with the lost of faith and all the temptation in this lost world *hellfire by Frollo starts playing*

30. a chill and irreverent member of the clergy, who likes opulence. It’s like Jude Law in that show, the young pope (i didn’t watch it but he looks cool)

31. It's almost over! The art of Fashion illustration, engraving and photography, reinvent the ancient French fashion reviews, channel the spirit of Poiret, Erté, Gruau, Brissaud and more, it’s a stylistic exercise so you can take one of your previous creation and do it in the style of a fashion illustrator.
