Balenciaga x Claudia Maté : The Frontiers of Real

While her name might not ring a bell, you’re probably familiar with the first image this digital artist created for Bjork’s album ‘Homogenic’ in 1997: a geisha of the third kind, mixing ancestral costume and digital culture with troubling realism. Here lies the territory of expression of Claudia Maté, a digital artist from Madrid who, long before anyone else, enjoyed designing digital characters for the real world. A mysterious area that immediately appealed to Balenciaga’s artistic director Demna Gvasalia, who asked her to create these silhouettes from the physical features of his models to enhance his latest collection.
