NTR
An artist and textile designer trained at the Duperré School of Applied Arts, Noémie Tissot Rosset, whose initials give rise to the brand “NTR”, chooses to use clothing as a medium to illustrate and recount her traumatic past, especially when it comes to her body: the sexual violence she, as so many women, has been a victim of […] Now she chooses fashion as therapy and rebellion against suffering.
For example, she creates little white tops called “Scans Corporels”, used as blank pages on which she silkscreen prints her story, taking the imprint of salvaged lingerie and evocative objects such as handcuffs or chains (symbols of mental prison). She thus finds a new function in fashion; an outlet, a purgatory in which she confesses and then exorcises her personal taboos by sublimating them. Making others bear the burden of a role that has become unbearable to take on, she shares the pain and transforms this collective suffering into beauty.
Exploring her childhood to find the roots of evil, she blames little dolls, objects with a feminine appearance but inanimate flesh. Too many times, they became the first model for the little girl: a consensual submission. Every little girl wants to look like a Barbie, and perhaps building a wardrobe means sketching out one’s own character. In this sense, we are “fashion victims”, often putting ourselves in macabre scenarios.
