Portrait of Jeanne Vicerial, 2021.

Born in 1991, Jeanne Vicerial lives and works in Paris. She turned to clothing design from adolescence. After studying costume design and obtaining a Master’s degree in Clothing Design at the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 2015, she embarked on a research project that took the form of a SACRE (Sciences, Arts, Creation, Research) doctoral thesis, which she defended in 2019. She further developed this work through a partnership with the mechatronics department of Mines ParisTech, resulting in a patented robotic process for producing custom-made scrap-free clothing. Concurrently, she pursued an artistic approach that led her to establish the research and creation studio “Clinique vestimentaire”. In 2022, she designed costumes for the revival of the opera “Atys” at the Grand Théâtre de Genève in a co-production with the Opéra Royal de Versailles under the direction of Angelin Preljocaj. A resident at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici from 2019 to 2020, her creations have been exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Villa Medici and Palais Farnèse (Rome), Collection Lambert (Avignon), Maison Guerlain (Paris), Lafayette Anticipations (Paris), and the Manufacture de Roubaix, and have entered the collections of the Centre National des Arts Plastiques and the Centre Pompidou (Paris). Her first solo exhibition was presented at the Magasins Généraux in 2021. Jeanne Vicerial is represented by TEMPLON (Paris, Brussels, New York).
