About
Art + Fashion
Art + Fashion is not a category.
It is a territory.
The label operates where clothing stops being product and becomes art in motion. Each piece is conceived as a visual statement: designed to be worn, yet existing beyond function, season, or trend.
Rather than following collections, the label develops works.
Garments emerge from the same process as a drawing or a painting: intuition first, structure later. Fabric becomes surface, the body becomes canvas, and construction becomes narrative.
Every creation carries a trace of the hand, the time, and the thought behind it. Imperfection is embraced as evidence of presence. Repetition is avoided. Meaning is essential.
The label speaks to those who do not separate what they wear from what they feel:
to those who understand clothing as language, memory, and position.
Art + Fashion stands for:
wearable artworks
couture as expression, not display
pieces that resist duplication
design that holds silence, strength, and intention
This is not fashion that follows.
It is fashion that remains.
Artist & Haute Couture Designer
Born in 1987, Pati Avakian, 38, is a French-Armenian artist and haute couture designer whose work stands at the intersection of contemporary art and couture craftsmanship.
She first trained in Fine Arts (2004–2007), developing an early and solid command of drawing, composition, and the human figure. She later completed her studies at the International Fashion University Group – ESMOD (2008–2013), where she acquired advanced expertise in pattern making, tailoring, and haute couture construction.
Her professional experience includes work within leading luxury fashion houses such as Balmain, Elie Saab, Valentino, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Comme des Garçons and Max Mara, where she refined an exceptional level of technical precision and couture savoir-faire.
Her current body of work — paintings, drawings, and unique textile pieces — explores body memory, transformation, and the trace left by lived experience. Each work is entirely handmade, unique, numbered, and delivered with a certificate of authenticity. No reproductions.
Her artistic project From Coma to Canvas represents a decisive shift, where creation becomes an act of consciousness, control, and transmission.
She lives and works in Paris and Europe, offering her works to private clients and international collectors.
