Localité Koché

Brand Collaboration with Koché and Exhibition, Paris Fashion Week

28 February – 7 March 2019

The New School, Parsons Paris, France

Localité Koché is collaboration between the MA Fashion Studies students at Parsons Paris and the Paris-based brand, Koché. Working closely with founder and designer, Christelle Kocher, event director Julien Lacroix, and led by artist, Justin Morin, the task was to imagine Koché first brick and mortar space according to its brand identity. Two out of twelve projects (including my own) were chosen by Christelle and Julien to be exhibited during Paris Fashion Week A/W 2019. 

​

Angelene's project, "Koché In Transit,"  develops Koché’s ideas of diversity, transition, and urbanism that are inherent to their brand identity. In the climate of 21st century identity politics, I wanted to nuance their take on diversity by looking at notions of in-betweenness – geographically, between people, between identities, and how technology affects all this. Pulse, distraction, being in between places and in many places at once – these characterise how we live today and define “Koché In Transit”.
