Artist Interview - Sandrine Dulermo & Michael Labica
Get PDFSandrine Dulermo and Michael Labica sparked off their creative collaboration at a photo lab in 2001 — and they haven’t looked back since. Dulermo, aged only 13 and with photography “running through her veins”, used to skip school to shoot her little brothers with her Zenit camera. At 18, her first perfume campaign was followed by her first solo exhibition. Labica, a former student at Louis-Lumière in Paris, was first enticed by cinema, later becoming entrenched as a creative in numerous advertising agencies.

They practise photography as craftsmen, but within a research laboratory, challenging the usual perspectives, continually experimenting and finding new techniques and skills
Studio Showcase - Perceptual Thinkers

Because they follow the ethos of design for all, these clothes are as suitable for neurotypical people as for those who are affected by autism. They are not medical aids nor are they fully conceptual clothes - they aim for something in between. Their goal is to spread the notion of conscious shopping , so as much background information as possible is provided about the products
