OverviewFrancois Berthoud is one of the most original fashionillustrators of the late 20th and early 21st century.More than drawing illustrations with pen or pencil, Berthoud likes to sculpt, scrape, scratch, and digthem out of different materials (wood, linoleum, pressed paper, celluloid film). Like a woodcut-makeror a goldsmith, he creates matrixes in which he thentransfers the figures he has sketched on paper, reducing them to the essential.Hailed by avant-garde designers for his elegant senseof detachment and a sharp sense of irony, Berthoudennobles things that seem marginal (a glove, a scarf, a high heel, the tip of a boot) by turning them intoarchetypes. Informed by a visual culture rooted inconceptual art, he produces images of the femaleform that possess an exacting precision and areimbued with latent eroticism.
