mode francaise

Mode Française debates body standards in fashion design, the mechanisms thereof, and life in general. Freely re-designing these norms, the features and featured respectively, to participate in the spectacle, Jakob Lena Knebl scratches the surface, grazes the self, blinds and fascinates, is obscene yet moderate. The independent self questions the power of fashion, opposes social standards with plurality, intersex and the “queer idea”.
