A trajectory

From textile to artwork

Four stages

Genesis tells how it all began.

Origin shares the pattern. 

Fusion invites art into the fabric. 

Expression turns the set into an artwork: worn, displayed, transformed.

A silent manifesto

Genesis

The Ego Trip 167-40

It all begins here.

For ten years, Nathalie Tardif made her A-line skirt and matching bag sets, cut from furnishing fabrics, designed for her own body shape and worn every day. These pieces are where the brand and the concept began.

Fusion

Digital paintings printed on textile

The digital paintings are jointly selected by the artist and the creator.

The pattern adapts to the artwork to display it at its best and make it circulate on a body, in motion and in space.

The artistic experience with associate artist Michel Clouin

Expression

Painted canvases, crafted into pieces 

The artist paints on the canvas, which is then crafted into a piece. Each piece is a unique artwork. 

It circulates on a body and displays the artist's work: in motion, in space, in the sensation of wearing an artwork and in the gaze of others, whether intrigued or indifferent.

A protocol allows the pieces to be transformed into wall artworks.

The offcut, which bears witness to its first use, is reborn as a new artwork, keeping the marks of its journey.
