Born in Southeastern France in 1991, Jeanne Vicerial is a Paris-based artist whose singular practice is the result of a theoretical and hands-on research method that blends design and fashion. She began making clothes already as a teenager and in 2014, Jeanne Vicearial founded Clinique Vestimentaire – a design, research and innovation studio – as part of her master’s thesis at the École des Arts de Paris. After graduating, and driven by the aim of developing zero-waste fabric, she continued exploring contemporary clothing design through a doctoral thesis, which she defended in 2019. That same year, she gained the Prix de la Création Durable thanks to her master’s project and started her residency at the French Academy in Rome, La Villa Medici. By adopting a highly interdisciplinary approach that blurs de boundaries between art, design, fashion and science, Jeanne Vicerial has developed a new technique of her own, the “tricotissage”. This made-to-measure method, which is also rooted in an anatomical study of the human body, results in zero-waste pieces that are at once garment, artwork and study work. In recent years, her work has been exponentially gaining exposure, being exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo (2018), Rome (2020), the Collection Lambert (2021), the Galerie Templon (2023), and joined the collection of the Cnap.
