BRUTE Art & Fashion, a Bold Editorial in a Sculpture Atelier Tollis

Set against the textured and evocative backdrop of Atelier Tollis in Paris, Brute Art & Fashion unfolds. As an extraordinary fashion narrative that seamlessly merges art and couture. Moreover, photographer and director Issa Tall masterfully captures the dynamic energy of sculptural forms. Accentuating the dramatic interplay between raw materials and the boldness of contemporary fashion. Not only does the editorial thrive on contrasts. It also highlights the delicate balance between structured silhouettes and chaotic artistry, interweaving timeless craftsmanship with avant-garde expression.

Meanwhile, models Raphael Say and Mimi Macvan infuse this vision with life and energy. Wearing meticulously curated ensembles styled by Fodé Ka. In addition to their compelling presence, their movements echo the grace of sculptures brought to life. Further elevated by the striking makeup artistry of Rose Dreyer and the innovative hairstyling of Engueran Silvestre. Furthermore, the precision of these details, captured with cinematic intensity by Florian Samelson. Ensures that every frame pulsates with vitality and storytelling.

Sculptural Couture: The Wardrobe

In terms of fashion, the wardrobe reflects the atelier’s ethos: bold, architectural, and unapologetically daring. For instance, a standout piece is the Zaady dress. Which is paired effortlessly with Juana Martin pants and a sculptural belt by On Aura Tout Vu. Together, these elements create a silhouette that mirrors the atelier’s own creations. Similarly, in another frame, a striking kimono by Yoshiki melds seamlessly with a Victoria Andreyanova coat and UNTITLED 19 pants. Epitomizing the fusion of East-meets-West aesthetics that define the collection.

Furthermore, accessories play a pivotal role in anchoring these bold looks. For example, intricate earrings by Delphine Charlotte Parmentier add a timeless allure that perfectly complements the ensembles. Her jewelry appears throughout, adorning pieces such as a striking Mugler top. A flowing On Aura Tout Vu dress, and even menswear staples like a Balmain top paired with a bold Collini Milano skirt. Thus, the consistent thread of Parmentier’s craftsmanship grounds the collection in an understated elegance that contrasts beautifully with the daring designs.

In addition, footwear from luxury labels such as Kristina Fidelskaya and Isabel Marant lends the looks a finishing touch that balances art and functionality. Notably, the Fenty shoes paired with a flowing Lou de Betoly skirt evoke a sense of effortless modernity. Likewise, gloves sourced from the stylist’s archive underscore a theatricality that feels organic within the raw ambiance of the atelier.

A Masterful Collaboration

What makes this editorial truly exceptional is the collaborative synergy between stylists, assistants, and artisans combining art and fashion. For example, first assistant Aude Groiselle and second assistant Miguel Vaio worked meticulously alongside the stylist to craft cohesive narratives within each outfit. Additionally, the lighting, a testament to the expertise of Jeremy Tellier. Highlights every pleat, texture, and shadow, transforming garments into living sculptures.

Moreover, each designer contributes uniquely to the story, adding depth and intrigue to the overall vision. For instance, the flowing Gemy Maalouf tulle skirt, juxtaposed with the structured boots by Ash, underscores the editorial’s sculptural ethos. Similarly, pieces by Oteyza, Cartier, and Wooyoungmi add layers of complexity. Drawing the viewer’s gaze to intricate details that echo the atelier’s artistic focus.

Through Brute, fashion and sculpture converge in a celebration of texture, movement, and timeless artistry. Ultimately, every designer, artisan, and collaborator plays a vital role in crafting a visual feast that is both provocative and sublime.
