Introducing Wandler’s ‘Artist Series’, an unfolding collection in which we collaborate with like-minded artists from the creative field. Wandler’s ode to artistry by creating art with others. Launching our very first ‘Artist Series’ with French artist Sophie Dherbecourt to present our Pre Fall 2020 collection. Her style is poetic and strongly feminine while drawing inspiration from classicism and Ancient Greek art. We sat down with Sophie to talk about inspiration, body equity and female empowerment.
‘You’ll find a lot of symbolism in my work in a way that some objects tend to recur. Take the anthurium for instance, a flower that has a graphic yet sensual shape and symbolizes unusual beauty.’ — Sophie Dherbecourt, artist.
'When designing the PF20 collection, I have envisioned the person wearing it. I wanted to portray this persona as a piece of art. Art has always been a big part of my life, so it was natural to collaborate with an artist like Sophie Dherbecourt. Not only did we have a similar creative vision, but Sophie's artwork champions female empowerment, diversity and inclusion, which Wandler strives to achieve as well. I'm very proud how this collaboration came to life and glad to have this painting hanging in my office. - Elza Wandler, Founder and Creative Director of Wandler.
