BÊTES DE MODE

Artists HELMO created this serie ' Bêtes de Mode ' (Fashion Animals) for the Lafayette Galleries on Haussmann Boulevard in Paris.


Do you remember those 3D glasses with a red and a blue glass? HELMO used the same technique for this serie. In the windows of the Lafayette Galleries they placed red and blue foil in front of the image. So when you looked trough the red one, you saw the animal and though the blue one the model. They did the same inside the building, but than they used red and blue lights instead of foils on a scale of 5x8 meters. 



Love the technique they used and the whole atmosphere of the serie. I'd try to find what there inspiration was and what the story is behind this serie but couldn't find anything. Do they try to say that fashion brings up the animal in us?, something I'd like to know. To bad that I can't visit it anymore because the serie was shown in 2008/2009 at the Lafayette Galleries.
