List of products by Artist Cécile Plaisance
Cecile Plaisance’s evocative career began with a doll – but not just any doll. The biggest names in fashion, Karl Lagerfeld, Yves St. Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Christian Lacroix and many others had all paid tribute to her. And as a young girl who loved all things beautiful, she included herself on the list by taking photos of the only plastic playmate she admired who was a constant fixture in the world of girls who dressed and undressed her daily – Barbie, of course. She was so successful at it that her early compositions of the icon made stars of her first snapshots. Her goal? To make life more lighthearted (and for some perhaps, more palatable) as a reminder of the innocence of childhood everywhere and a chance to bring those sweet memories back to life.
As Cecile’s photography progressed, she linked Barbie to the women of today – all the while playing with her femininity as the icon took on many lives while juggling daily life as wife, mother, friend and lover. Cecile also added humor to the Barbie mix by targeting men who absolutely expect sexiness in their women even while assuming everyday responsibilities. From complex subtleties to bold statements, Cecile Plaisance’s artistic eye has found them all. In capturing the essence of all women in the perfect body of one, the artist has created a genre uniquely her own yet accessible to all.
