biography

Lives and works in Saint-Ouen.

Emilie Faïf is a visual designer. Born in 1976, she graduated the École des Arts Appliqués Olivier de Serres and the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. She works with fabrics to create dreamlike and ethereal sculptures. For over ten years, her collaborations with artists from the world of fashion – Isabel Marant, Tsumori Chisato, Hermes, Kenzo, Manuel Canovas -, design and theater enriched her diversified and prolific artistic activity. Emilie Faïf’s world has something natural and incongruous. Here, the obviousness is the evidence of the dreams and dreams embrace reality’s colors and contours. It all happens between the sewings , behind, somewhere inside : the volume becomes a landscape, and a landscape a volume.
