Cimarrón
This series of extraordinary photographic portraits by Charles Fréger brings to life the vivid costumes used in festivals by the descendants of African slaves in America. All across the Americas, from the sixteenth century onwards, enslaved Africans escaped their captors and struck out on their own. These runaways established their own communities or joined with indigenous peoples to forge new identities.

Empire
Frger's series EMPIRE is a long-term project (2004 - 2007) comprising portraits of a wide variety of elite troops across Europe, mostly Republican or Royal Guards. These sitters are dressed to be recognised as belonging to a specific set of codes, rules, role and institution - be it the military or sovereignty. Through the wearing of a uniform they perform the protocols, history, status and power of their unit, in ornate costumes that often defy practicality.

Masking is a complex, mysterious, and profound tradition in which the participants transcend the physical wo...

The items shown on the catwalk should theoretically be wearable, but often in reality this is not entirely the case. Haute-�-Porter examines the relationship between Haute C...
