Printemps Haussmann / Paris, 2011
Emilie Faif is a Paris-based visual designer who mixes the worlds of fashion, art and textiles to create installations, magical window displays and shop interiors. She has been working with bohemian fashion designer Isabel Marant since 2003, creating ballooned pieces of art and feminine window displays. One such example had an old black and white photo of a couple embracing atop the Isabel Marant-clad mannequins. She says, somewhat ephemerally:
The universe of Emilie Faif is something natural and incongruous. Because the evidence here is that dreams embrace the colours and contours of reality. They draw a sort of double where light does not shadow, where heavyness becomes light, which vows never fall. And then there is the body, a continent that we would be familiar with and which can be a breath, soft and a little creepy. Emilie Faif sculpts the tissue, but in reverse: because it is below, behind, back and somewhere inside.
