DS Automobiles in fashion

  • Official partner to Paris #fashion Week®, #DS Automobiles is revealing a unique editorial #fashion photo shoot featuring the emerging #fashion scene and electric E-TENSE models.
  • Called "Un Autre Regard"*, the work came from a meeting of designs from different disciplines, connected by an avant-garde spirit and echoing the Sarah Moon photographs depicting the SM nearly 50 years ago.
  • This initiative by #DS Automobiles is part of a comprehensive project embodying French luxury expertise in cars, already demonstrated by multiple collaborations with reputed companies and craftsmen.

On the occasion of the presentation of the Spring-Summer 21 Men's #fashion collections, Paris #fashion Week® is expressed online. #Event partner, #DS Automobiles is fully involved and showing the work of emerging designers that the Federation of Haute Couture and #fashion promotes through the Sphere showroom.

Since its launch, #DS Automobiles has taken inspiration for its visual identity from #fashion and film. Sometimes the actor, sometimes the accessory, the car changes its character depending on the project. "Un Autre Regard"* provides new opportunities in this world of photographic art.

Identified by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode as emerging branDS, BLUE MARBLE, Boramy Viguier, EGONlab, Germanier et Mansour Martin had characteristic looks to their work. Along the Seine, downstream from the Palais de Tokyo where these talents usually show off new trenDS, the photographer Paul Franco took over the Château de Bizy to reveal his vision for #parisfashionweek 2020.

Five images have been staged in the castle's courtyard and gardens with #DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE, #DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4 300 and #DS 9 E-TENSE.

"I'm passionate about Sarah Moon's work," enthused Paul Franco. "She is an incredible photographer and I am also inspired by Steven Klein. For this project, the treatment of my photos is a mix of these two distinct styles with a poetic, very feminine side and something more committed and masculine using flash. It's this combination between the two that's representative of me. I wanted to create #fashion pictures with cars and I love the result, highlighted by a treatment that mixes sharpness and blurring. I was given carte blanche and I loved seeing our model lying on the bonnet of #DS 9 with an outfit in leather adorned with large stuDS designed by EGONlab. They put a crazy amount of energy into the shoot. The shining stuDS against the bodywork made fantastic photographs. I'm aware that we surpassed the limits of the car world but the car itself has none!"

Under the gaze of the photographer, the meeting between these five designers and #DS Automobiles' cars discovered a new dimension to "beautiful". The primary role of the clothes or the car is put to one side in favour of exhilarating joy.

Since it was created five years ago, #DS Automobiles regularly works with companies reputed for their expertise. The best artisans, specialists in embroidery, luggage, feathers, crystal and straw have collaborated with the #DS DESIGN STUDIO PARIS teams on interiors that are more and more iconic. These works have become sources of inspiration for the cockpits of #DS 3 CROSSBACK, #DS 7 CROSSBACK, #DS 9 and the brand's future designs.

The editorial "Un Autre Regard"* will be shown primarily on the @DS_Official Instagram account between 9 and 13 July, during #parisfashionweek. A very limited edition print will also be offered.

*Un Autre Regard: A Different Perspective

The designers

BLUE MARBLE

BLUE MARBLE is a menswear brand founded by Anthony Alvarez in 2017, based in Paris. With the help of a talented team of creatives, he provides the concept of the BLUE MARBLE brand and of each individual collection, referencing a particular city. Each collection takes the BLUE MARBLE aesthetic of Alvarez and focuses on a different city or place for inspiration, each a melting pot of ancient heritage, new sub-cultures created by a rising youth, and adopted influences from other parts of the world. The aesthetic oscillates between that of an urban prince with a love of all things refined and a rebellious nature or desire to question today's status quo.

Boramy Viguier

After learning his expertise over four years alongside Lucas Ossendrijver at Lanvin, Parisian designer Boramy Viguier launched his own brand in 2017 with designs juxtaposing the skilful use of materials with strong shapes quickly earning him acclaim from the industry. Sportswear details such as heavy zips, elastic fastenings and oversize hooDS supplement classic menswear items, enhancing them with a modern style without compromising usability. A young talent, he's establishing himself as a rising star on the #fashion scene.

EGONlab

EGONlab is a young french brand whose visual identity is deeply inspired by artistic movements having greatly influenced our contemporary society. Each collection will showcase an artistic reinterpretation of these revolutions and the ripple effects following their fruition. Merging #fashion, music, motion design, and art, EGONlab is a mixed media, at the same time a brand and a movement itself offering a fully immersive and completely unique experience to its consumers.

Germanier

In 2013, after two years at the HEAD in Geneva, he joins Central Saint Martins in the Womenswear section. Finalist for the EcoChic Design Award 2014-15, he is entrusted with the design of the first sustainable collection for the Chinese luxury brand Shanghai Tang. On his return from Hong Kong, he joined the leather department of Louis Vuitton as an intern. He will return there after graduating from Central Saint Martins with honors. In 2018, the Germanier adventure begins. He presents his first collection in February the same year. In 2019, his sustainable and glamour #fashion catches the eyes of the LVMH Prize jury, he enDS up semi-finalist.

Mansour Martin

In 2019, Mansour Badjoko and Martin Liesnard launched Mansour Martin. Both from Belgium, they have followed two different paths. Mansour Badjoko studied at La Cambre and Institut Français de la Mode. Martin Liesnard attended university in Paris, studying luxury, #fashion and design management. Today, they combine their experiences and complementary savoir-faire in this creative duo. Mansour Martin mixes pop, urban and cultural inspirations in order to create a both sophisticated and fantasist universe. Mansour Martin proposes a sustainable and respectful #fashion which is designed for men and may be worn by women. Pieces are made in Europe and eco-friendly for most part.
