Between 2018 and 2020 I worked with Kenzo's art department on various visuals for their website and social media channels. Whether they needed assets as simple as animated "stickers" or more impactful teasers for the upcoming shows, I'd create these with them. Altogether we worked on approximately 20 different projects, find a selection of these joyful visuals below.
One of the projects I worked on was a request to turn the House famous tiger illustration into a 3D modelized object. In order to make this happen quickly I took an existing 3D model and tailor-modified it until it matched the drawing. After animation & render process, the team could use it in videos for their social media.



To announce Kenzo SS19 show, I was asked to create teasers using traditional hachimakis to display information about the event. These were used mainly accross the brand's social accounts.
The Everything is a light-hearted drama about a family of teenagers with unusual powers that bring them together & features KENZO’s Fall-Winter 2018 collections. To promote the film, I was asked to create a series of GIFS available for anyone to play with on social media.




One of the FW18 collection's most recognizable piece was the sneaker, named "The Sonic". I modelized it from photos, animated it and turned it into a GIF.




For each new store opening around the world, I was asked to create an animation promoting its opening date.
To announce Kenzo SS20 show, I was asked to create teasers using a beach towel displaying information about the event. These were used across the brand's social channels.
To match with Kenzo's 2019 capsule collection, the brand requested a set of 3D titles and a series of GIFS, all going with a starry vibe. Typeface designed by Hadrien Herzog.

The project is based off a photo taken by Irving Penn for a Vogue 1994 issue, magnifying the beauty of a headdress made by Jean-Paul Gaultier and worn by model Bridget Hall.
This JPG headdress is a mix of cultural references, taking inspiration from Indian ornaments to American-style chains and padlocks. Along with the color theme, hair and ears were silver slicked by Orlando (for Bumble + Bumble) and Brigitte Reiss-Andersen (for Jacques Dessange).

The "coiled" corset from The Overlook collection by Alexander McQueen (1999) combines meticulous craftsmanship, radical body adornment and was a unique collaboration between McQueen, Kees van der Graaf and jeweller Shaun Leane.
It was made of 97 handcrafted aluminium coils. The construction is similar to that of the cuirass, the sides are screwed together, with the wearer inside. Kees van der Graaf created a plaster mould of model Laura Morgan’s torso, onto which Leane then fitted the coils.
