Sylvie Facon, the visionary French stylist, has been capturing the imagination of fashion enthusiasts since 2005 with her extraordinary creations. Her dresses are not just garments; they are intricate textile compositions that breathe life into various themes, textures, and colors.
The artist draws inspiration from diverse sources, ranging from the beauty of nature to the heritage of her city. One of her distinctive preferences lies in finding inspiration in everyday objects that age gracefully, such as books. Among Facon’s notable creations are her book dresses. The dresses, adorned with carefully selected book covers and pages, become wearable pieces of art that tell a literary story.
In a previous interview with DeMilked, Syvie revealed, “When I have an idea in mind, I make a sketch and I work each step until the last point. Each dress represents approximately 250 hours of work, and there is a lot of work underneath as well: each dress is a construction and each step has a great importance for the final.”
