Date: 8 July - 29 July 2007
Venue: Strand Arcade, George Street Sydney

Fashion illustration is beginning to find new forms of narrative and aesthetic values. The new style of illustration is no longer a mere visual representation of fashion objects: rather, it transforms the mental worlds and fantasies embodied by those objects into images, while in turn, each new image nourishes the next fashion ephemeral. Gradually, a new landscape is taking shape in the graphic art of fashion illustration, a landscape peopled by images bordering on the contemporary arts, yet never abandoning its demanding aesthetic heritage - a development that is shaping the unique artistic world of contemporary French fashion illustration. Traits Tres Mode is a production of Association Francaise d'Action Artisque. Organised by French Rendezvous, the Alliance Francaise de Sydney, and co-presented by The French Embassy and Ipoh Pty Ltd.
