JAMES REEVE

Collaboration Info:

In 2010 my Lightscapes project, which I had been working on since 2006, was selected to be exhibited as part of the Hyeres International Festival of Fashion & photography.

The President of the fashion jury was the celebrated Belgian designer Dries Van Noten. Following the festival Dries contacted me and proposed that we collaborate for his 2012 Spring/Summer Women's Collection.

Dries printed images from my project onto a wide range of different fabrics, which were used to create garments, shoes and other accessories for his collection.

In March 2012 the collection was shown to the world's media during Paris fashion week, to widespread acclaim. During the following year Dries and I exhibited pieces from his collection alongside framed Lightscapes prints in gallery spaces around the world, in Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, Vienna and Atlanta.
