Artists' Editions
Vilebrequin is joined by renowned Swiss contemporary art publisher JRP|Editions for a new “art”venture which will see acclaimed international artists widen their horizons, inviting us to reconsider the creative possibilities of a swimsuit.
A NEW TERRAIN
FOR ARTISTS
Curated by Lionel Bovier, Director of MAMCO Geneva and Arnaud Hubert, CEO of JRP|Editions, this wide-ranging offering swimsuits, ready-to-wear, and accessories brings together artists with radically different voices who share a common interest in how their work can translate to textile.
Vilebrequin’s unmatched printing expertise and particular attention to quality ensure every piece in the collection maintains the integrity of the original. Presented as precious collector’s volumes with their own hardcovers, the Artist Editions just as easily belong on your bookshelf as they do in your suitcase.

Spotlight onKenny Scharf
No stranger to beach culture, LA-born artist Kenny Scharf came up on the New York art scene in the 1980s. Steeped in imagery from 1950s American pop culture, his scenes and characters depict a cartoon-like utopia imbued with vibrant, optimistic colors.

Spotlight onJohn M Armleder
John M Armleder is a Swiss performance artist, painter, and sculptor who has spent four decades developing his own creative vocabulary by mixing mediums, techniques, and movements—“A supermarket of forms”, as he calls it. Teaming an extraordinary visual culture with delegation principles and chance procedures, he exploits the tension between mastery and randomness. His body of work stretches from abstraction to appropriation, and installation to multiples.

Spotlight onSylvie Fleury
Since the early 1990s, Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury has been exploring the crossovers between art, fashion, tuning, and the New Age aesthetic. By customizing objects borrowed from mainstream culture, she forces viewers to reassess the notions of value, fetishized luxury, and gendered consumption. With strong ties to Conceptualism, her artistic practice covers sculpture, performance, painting, and installation.
