La Mue

La Mue – the French term for shedding skin – unfolds as a meditation on metamorphosis. This project traces the transformation of the old into the new, echoing the constant reinvention of the self. Translated into fashion, vintage garments that once carried a life of their own are reawakened through second hand, granted a new existence. Clothing, hair, and makeup become both character and narrative, revealing a silent evolution. It reveals a passage from what has been to what is becoming.

Currently being submitted to festivals.
