Gabrielle Huguenot
Switzerland, originally from the canton of Fribourg.
Based in Zurich.
Master’s in Fashion and Accessories Design from HEAD-Genève.
Grand Prize Winner for Accessories at the 38th edition of the International Festival of Fashion, Photography & Accessories in Hyères.
The work of this young laureate intertwines art and design through a strange and mysterious character, La Femme Serpent (The Snake Woman).
Intricate artifacts make up the wardrobe of this femme fatale, brought to life through performances by the designer herself.
Her universe combines fetishism, jewelry, the coldness of industrial metal, and the preciousness of stones. Her inspirations are drawn from her frustrations with the fashion system, which she has transformed into a fertile ground for creation.
Distress becomes emancipation, as she boldly seeks to confront the dynamics of oppression in the fashion industry with flair.
