Rochester, NY
Biography:
Shane LaVancher and Clementine Allain, respectively from New York and Paris are artists who consistently attempt to stretch the concepts of fashion and it’s aesthetics. Their images playfully nudge the lines between pop art, contemporary poetic vision, and hard-line fashion. The duo works from their intuition with the fickle fashion industry in mind. The element of presence within their images reflects their attention to contemporary fashion, but also the essence of the age we live in.
Mr. LaVancher is a recent R.I.T graduate with his BFA in photographic illustration, and Mademoiselle Allain will continue her studies in Photography at F.I.T in Manhattan this September.
The two met while Clementine was visiting the U.S in April 2009. Since then, they have spent a substantial amount of time together developing their work and relationship in Rochester and in Paris.
They are currently planning their move to New York City. There, the Franco-American duo will continue working and pursuing their ambitions.
