Sylvie Fleury: Palette of Shadows
Head-Image
The fashion world is a well-constructed system founded on creation, distribution, recycling, and citation – it can be quite frivolous at times and is not afraid of spreading seemingly contradictory slogans. As a woman, I think this system should be put into question and re-examined, not only in terms of the desires it produces, but on a deeper level as well. Today, fashion is just another tool that I can use when talking about feminism, politics, and fetishism.
