Drawings for Algolesko House: Passionate Seaweed Farmers in Brittany

Each type of seaweed has its own seasonality and specific living environment. Through these visuals, the aim was to represent seaweed "freshly salted," stabilized using Japanese methods.

Here, we showcase Wakame, a cultivated seaweed that grows in deep waters in the open sea and withstands storms.

I am very happy to support the brand in developing its image. Thank you to Laëtitia Darrhort, Timothée Serraz, and the entire Algolesko team for your trust.

"Dress," Monotype on Japanese paper.

"Revealing the story of Azzedine Alaïa before his grand 1982 fashion show, this book explores the career of one of fashion's most enigmatic icons. Azzedine Alaïa (1935-2017) was considered a genius of contemporary fashion. Edited by his closest friend, Carla Sozzani, this new volume explores the early life and career of Azzedine Alaïa, from his native Tunisia and arrival in Paris in 1956, to his groundbreaking 1982 show in New York. From apprenticeships to encounters with the artistic, literary, and social scenes of Paris, this book pays tribute to Alaïa's creative evolution. This unique volume draws on rare archival documents, private photographs, and leading publications to vividly illustrate the fascinating journey of a fashion legend. Written by fashion expert Laurence Benaïm and featuring texts by Olivier Saillard, French fashion historian and director of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, and Carla Sozzani, co-founder and president of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation."
