For its new bag, the Tali, Kenzo collaborated with Spanish photographer Filip Custic to create a campaign inspired by talisman magical powers. Coming in 7 different colours, the idea was to relate each bag with a specific power. I was asked to give motion to Custic's surreal photographs bringing a hypnotizing and glamorous touch to the campaign.

Along with the animations, Kenzo wanted to create an app allowing users to browse through the different Tali bags. The idea was to use the symbolic spheres often used in Filip Custic's work in a spinning wheel manner. I was in charge of designing the animations and the assets later used for the app.

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.
