Stéphanie CAVAGLIA - Fashion & graphic
Design - Marseille
With her sense for jokes, she likes people
who, just like herself, like having a good time. Without a mentor
except perhaps some contemporary artists that she understands
their approach : the fashion designer Issey Miyake who is above
various fields, by switching from fashion to architecture ; the
choreograph Philippe Decouflé and his costumes that transform
themselves ; and also fine artists such as Marie-Ange Guilleminot
and her little clothes "for hiding inside them" or those
of Lucy Orta that have a social vocation.
Between fashion and architecture, Stéphanie
Cavaglia created a line of pullovers with six sleeves, double
briefs, a trousers "without a upside or a downside"
or an overall "without a top or a bottom", Stéphanie
Cavaglia says : "I locate myself more in a spectacular
dimension than in haute couture...".

Stéphanie uses the shapes of a body
like a volume that will transform the cloth. She is more of a
handywoman than a fashion designer, she makes her funny model
"hand sewn" from cloths that she finds in the flea market,
sweatshirts and trousers tha are enhanced with flashy coloured
tights. She says : "Fashion, architecture and also graphic
design, I swing between various fine arts". She translates
her vision by her "corporal sculptures" that
are created on an acrobat-model : Emmanuelle Tardy and photographed
by Babeth Montagnier. From her playful works that she has named
sens"ass", she says that she is still interrogating
the sense of things by overlapping the depth and the shape. By
the way she presents her multipe shaped clothes in a booklet "without
a top or a bottom". For her, "The double meaning
of the word sense" is a daily preoccupation that never
prevents pleasure. She continues to have a "wonderful"
time.
