Les Bijoux D’Odette
“Les Bijoux D’Odette is a jewelry and clothing collection that acts as a conduit on an esoteric journey into the past, through adornment, memory, connection and history, as seen through the eyes of Odette.  Designer Fanny Crenn is based in Brittany, France, while Odette, who operates as muse for the creation of the collection, lives in Crenn’s heart and her mind. …While her clothing is a fight of fantasy, that wouldn’t look out of place adorning Titania from Shakespeare’s’ play of about the wooded fairly world, A Midsummer Nights Dream… Sourcing her materials from flee markets, second hand stores and attic sales, Crenn references the Emmaus Movement, the collective fight against all forms of exclusion, started by French Catholic priest Henri Marie Joseph Groues.  The charity that continues in his name is the oft times.”

Dominated by large global corporate groups, and their sponsored media who encourage a dream lifestyle of selfishness, apathy, superficiality, greed, sex and drugs to a growing audience of billions, fashion has been sold to the rafters, leaving it’s consumers and producers poorer, dumber, and more ill-equipped than ever, to face combat, or survive the doomsday scenarios that everyone from religious fanatics to Nobel laureates predict will take place in within a lifetime. Fashion is indeed a massive human, social and environmental disgrace in need of a paradigm shift.
