BÊTE NOIRE prescribed to ambiguity and therefor connected the accessibility of perfect detail, the highest level of craftsmanship and high-quality materials with alienation in presentation and distribution. Inspired by the Definition of the >Typus< in Friedrich Theodor Vischer (philosopher and literary scholar, 1807-1887) and the idea of aesthetic experience and critical design, mentioned by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby (www.dunneandraby.co.uk), BÊTE NOIRE was a creative research into the possibilities and limits of fashion as a medium in all its continually changing facets.

BÊTE NOIRE elaborated from 2009 to 2018 garments and accessories and alienating representation and distribution models of the digital, which appeared and disappeared at irregular intervals in the form of editions on various platforms.
