The encounter between designer Gustavo Lïns and photographer Jules Ferrini brings together two generations and two distinct artistic visions. Through ANIMA, they explore the architecture of the body, the relationship between garment and skin, and the way clothing shapes movement, volume, and presence.

Presented at the Maison 6x6 by Jean Prouvé and invited by Mercier & Associés, the project unfolds as a dialogue between fashion design and photographic interpretation. The collection becomes a field of experimentation where form, light, and texture interact to reveal the expressive potential of the body.

Through solarization and graphic interventions, Jules Ferrini's images transform the garments into sculptural and almost spectral presences. The photographic process reveals both the sensuality and the tension embedded within Gustavo Lïns' work, emphasizing folds, silhouettes, and the emotional charge of the materials.

The contrast between black and white, shadow and light, abstraction and realism creates a visual language where desire becomes a central force. Fashion is no longer simply represented; it is reimagined through image-making itself.

ANIMA is a state of mind—a transformation of time and space through bodies, garments, and images.
