Estelle Tcha, a classically-trained painter, uses archival Dior pieces as her blank canvas.
, Tcha takes vintage Dior blazers—in black, hot pink, houndstooth, and many more—and then applies her Surrealist art to the back of them. Each jacket has a cut-out where the astrology-themed canvases fit in, attached with a velcro-like material, and customers can then interchange the different zodiac paintings, should they wish. She said the idea ignited out of wanting to blur the line between fashion and art .
Tcha is currently based in Seoul, Korea, and studied painting at the School of Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts in Boston, as well as fashion design courses at Parsons in New York and Central Saint Martins in London. It was at CSM where she began Eee as her thesis project in 2018. “I did a series of 12 paintings of the zodiac signs, and then applied that to vintage clothing. I really wanted people to interact with art and take it out of the white cube space,” she says.
