Since it’s move to the Marais in 2003, the prestigious sculpture gallery JGM Galerie broadened their scope to include contemporary and fine art. Until October 20th, the Saint-Ouen based artist Duncan Wylie presents “From Chaos”, a series of layered paintings defined by a structured chaos of memory fragments.

The paintings were a cohesive backdrop to showcase the colour-blocked Spring Summer 2013 collection of the young French designer Etienne Deroeux, who took his inspiration for the season from a road trip across the sweeping plains of the United States. A marbly print echoed the bird’s eye view of the Rocky Mountains, and dégradé trousers were reminiscent of whispy clouds or contrails in a pale blue sky. Deroeux used vintage denim and soft nappa leather, summer linen and silk crepes to both drape soft dresses and tailor an easy, softly-structured look for summer day dressing.
