Dominique DIEULOT

Dominique DIEULOT has lived through an era, a little piece of free woman, camera at arm's length, her piercing blue eyes on the lookout and the gift of capturing the magic of things.

Considering the fashion show as the most revealing and expressive event for creators, she invites herself to those of Popy Moreni, Maurizio Galante, Issey Miyake, Romeo Gigli, Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons, Paco Rabanne, Thierry Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Ishinuma, Hermès, Junko Shimada, Barbara Bui, Franck Sorbier...

In the intoxicating tumult of the show, in motion, away from the pack of photographers, she prints on her films, during fashion shows and backstage, the movement of a fold, the fall of a fabric, the detail of a button, the worked elegance of the material, the words of the creators and immortalizes the brilliance of an era when fashion was a celebration and embodied joy and freedom.

Focusing on the “details” that make fashion a masterful art, his work is published in the magazines Joyce, Jardin des Modes, Marie-Claire Japon, View on color, Donna, Bloom, Vogue Hommes, Io Donna... and by the New York Times for which his photos illustrate a report on haute couture: “ showing that a button at Chanel is like a jewel made according to the fabric, the pleats of Versace, the embroidery of Christian Lacroix, the lace by Valentino, the pearls trapped in a square of silk organza by Maurizio Galante [...] I remember, Valentino himself held the clothes for me so that I could photograph them. People came to see me backstage and asked me what I was doing, no photographer did macro photography for details. ”D.Dieulot

A great technician using experimental printing methods, her photographs resemble paintings. Never cropped but reworked in successive stages, each photo translates its emotion at the fleeting moment of the passage of a silhouette during the parade. The lines fade, the framing is precise, the moment frozen in movement immerses us in the magic told by a thousand and one details captured from life.
