Conceived by Mélanie Courtinat and Salomé Chatriot, this fashion series for issue 40 of magazine Magazine explores the worlds of these two artists through a series of images featuring characteristic elements of their styles and practices. Acting as models, their bodies were scanned in 3D in order to be transposed into a virtual universe, then integrated into the Unreal Engine video game software. The sets are indeed completely CGI. The idea with this series was not to aim for photorealism, but to create confusion, sublimating the imperfections of the scan rather than trying to hide them.
