Style is an individual’s pattern of speech, fashion, their language. Marie-France, chooses her leather jacket, as experimenting with style objectifies the self, articulating her identity.
For this painting, a phone and LED flashlight were used to cast cool, blue light, a palette of the digital age. Screens are now a vital organ in the fashion system, documenting a fashion object's life in consumer hands. Their own materiality impacts our view of fashion worlds.
Fashion’s meaning lies where people and objects touch, materially and symbolically. How we dress impacts on our mental state. Clothes physically and psychologically protect us from the world, marking our personal evolution. Symbolic meaning raises them out of the ’trivial’ fashion domain.
It is important to convey oneself quickly in a fast-moving world that can strip one of identity. In this painting, Marie-France, de-commodifies a fashion object, transforming it into a portal to her identity. This approach to fashion minimizes our consumption of trivial objects. Style is about what is left out as much as what is in.
Humans cannot be symbolized by one object or outfit. Style gets as close as it can. Like a book jacket, it uses a surface to hint at the beautiful complexity within.
