Jeanne Vicerial

In collaboration with the Lycée Voillaume in Aulnay-sous-Bois

Hors Cadre Residency until 30 Jun 2027

Still 258 days

For the 2026–2027 edition of the Hors Cadre Residency, Lafayette Anticipations is supporting the artist Jeanne Vicerial.

As part of this residency, Jeanne Vicerial is collaborating with a class of students on the BTS course specialising in the Design and Production of Automatic Systems at the Lycée Voillaume in Aulnay-sous-Bois. Together, they are working on the creation of a prototype with a view to developing a knitting-weaving machine.

Trained in costume design and then fashion design at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, she was awarded a SACRe (Sciences, Arts, Creation, Research) PhD in 2019, one of the first to be awarded in France. Her research explores, in particular, the dichotomy between ready-to-wear and made-to-measure, and has led to the creation of the Clinique vestimentaire studio, dedicated to experimentation and research.

Jeanne turned to clothing design as a teenager.

After studying costume design and obtaining a Master's degree in Clothing Design at the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 2015, she embarked on a research project that took the form of a doctoral thesis SACRe (Sciences, Arts, Creation, Research), which she defended in 2019. 

She deepened her research by developing, thanks to a partnership with the mechatronics department of MINES ParisTech, a patented robotic process that enables the production of tailor-made garments without dropping. At the same time, she became involved in an artistic process that led her to found the Clinique vestimentaire research and design studio, after a spell with Hussein Chalayan. 

In addition to her personal creations, she quickly initiated numerous collaborations with artists from different backgrounds: photographers, sculptors, performers, choreographers, musicians, perfumers, etc. 

Resident at the French Academy in Rome - Villa Medici in 2019-2020, her creations have been exhibited at Lafayette Anticipations in Paris (2023), at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2018), in Rome (Villa Medici and Palazzo Farnese, 2020), at the Collection Lambert in Avignon (2021) and have recently joined the collection of the Cnap (Centre national des arts plastiques).
