Ill-Studio conceptualized an installation at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris for the Pigalle Spring-Summer 2018 fashion show.
The installation explored the lifelong relationship between art and the anatomy of the human body and its performances. The scenography established visual parallels between the past, present and future of modernity, from the Roman Antiquity to the Avant-Garde era of the early 20th century and the Open-Source times we live in today.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Carhartt WIP invited Ill-Studio to imagine and curate an exhibition about the past, present and future of the brand. Rather than using a chronological approach, Ill-Studio imagined a giant installation at St Agnes in Berlin, a brutalist church turned art gallery.
The exhibition was a mix of iconic pieces of the brand’s history together with curated cultural artefacts and new works made specially for the occasion.

In 2017, Ill-Studio was appointed by Converse to rethink the brand’s global look and feel, from photography to design, casting, styling, wording and creative strategies. The result was a 200 pages Brand Visual Center book, setting up guidelines and inspirational content to illustrate Ill-Studio’s strategy and positioning for the brand’s new identity.
Ill-Studio and long time collaborator Christophe Lemaire teamed up to create a series of prints in tribute to the Neue Deutsche Welle musical movement and its most iconic bands such as D.A.F. and Liaisons Dangereuses for Lemaire’s Spring-Summer 2017 collection.

Ill-Studio was appointed to design the footwear and music departments of the fashion store Boontheshop in Seoul in 2016.
Originally designed by Peter Marino, the renewal of both spaces was based on the idea of making different generic environments collide : recording studios, gymnasiums, laboratories, construction sites.
