l’idiot utile is a slow but regular publication that tackles clothing, fashion, its images, aesthetics, economy, and professions. Co-created by Hubert Crabières, the sole photographer, and Alexis Etienne, who invites theorists and creatives to contribute, the publication, conceived in the form of carte blanche, is accompanied by Hezin O for graphic design and Josiane Martinho for fashion direction. l’idiot utileissue 0 was among the finalists for the most beautiful Korean book in 2023.

With l’idiot utile issue 1, Hubert Crabières continues his research on performed clothing and “clothing-image.” Moving even further away from fashion imagery, its aesthetics, and stakes, this issue, in which the photographer’s friends and acquaintances once again pose, places experimentation at its core. With Josiane Martinho, who creates a set of proposals especially for this issue, Wataru Tominaga, with whom he has a long-standing photographic relationship, as well as Morio Deguchi or Biki Kim, l’idiot utile issue 1 seeks to play with the notion of clothing to focus on its potential for personal and collective struggle and emancipation.
