From intimate gesture to living artwork.
A journey. Four movements.
Each collection explores a facet of the relationship between clothing, identity, and artistic expression.
From the intimate piece created for oneself to the shared and performed artwork, Tana Kim unfolds a sensitive journey where sewing becomes a language and textiles a medium for expression.
Genesis, Origin, Fusion, Expression :
Four moments, four movements, to turn clothing into a living artwork.
The founding piece. Intimate. Intuitive.
It is the origin of the gesture. : the creation, for oneself, of a coordinated skirt-and-bag set made from upholstery fabrics.
An outfit designed to meet concrete, aesthetic, functional, and symbolic needs.
It embodies the birth of a concept, the foundation of the project. A form of silent manifesto.
A piece worn and tested for over ten years by the creator herself.
Named Egotrip 167-40, these outfits are now offered as second-hand pieces.
The passing on of the craft. The universality of the design.
It is the opening towards others: turning a personal gesture into a shared language.
The emblematic model from the Genèse collection is now available in multiple sizes, making this iconic piece accessible. A symbolic passing of the textile torch, an invitation to claim it as your own. Wearing an Origin means placing your body within a singular story that has become collective.
The merging of gazes. The meeting of worlds.
The project becomes collective and collaborative.
Artists are invited to create original works designed to be printed on textiles.
A hybrid discipline, a woven language: intertwined visions, layered intentions.
Avec Fusion, l’art contemporain entre dans le processus de création textile. Chaque pièce devient le fruit d’une alchimie : couture et image, artisanat et abstraction, matière et mémoire.
Artistic fulfillment. Living performance.
The garment becomes language, the body becomes a stage.
Each outfit is a work in motion: transformable, evolving, revealed through performances.
The garment leaves the realm of mere use. It emancipates itself, exposes itself, confronts.
With Expression, creation becomes action. Textile unfolds in the moment, in space, in the gaze of the other. An aesthetic of the living, fluid, shifting, free.
