The project is now reimagined as a book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFashion Heroes marked the culmination of Sednaoui’s experiments with cut-outs and collage, a technique he had begun exploring two years earlier. Here, he transformed five designers—Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Azzedine Alaïa, Thierry Mugler and Martine Sitbon—along with their muses into a joyful, cosmic odyssey of characters in outer space, fueled by the energy of pop and film culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book draws on an original layout Sednaoui conceived for his participation in a 1993 group exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Art in Miami. Enclosed in a solid slipcase and protective box, it unfolds into a sculptural object designed to be opened flat. Seven leporello sections extend horizontally and vertically, allowing the images to be viewed individually or as a panoramic composition measuring more than 2.7 meters wide by 1.1 meters deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the reverse, solarized black-and-white photographs reveal moments from behind the scenes. Folding and unfolding the work continually conceals and reveals images, making the act of handling it part of the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart archive, part collage, part sculpture, Fashion Heroes transforms the 1989 photographic series into a physical encounter—an artwork in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2026\u003cbr\u003eFormat: A3 size\u003cbr\u003eThree-sided leporello book\u003cbr\u003e(two slipcases, trifold cover included)\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-966694-99-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© SSSSS Editions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yvon Lambert Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59864728043868,"sku":null,"price":330.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/4913\/8498\/files\/imgi_1_ssssse_books_fh_gradient_01_8ab8cb63-1ea6-4c06-950d-cb5ef0b13712.jpg?v=1794488058","url":"https:\/\/www.yvon-lambert.com\/products\/stephane-sednaoui-fashion-heroes","provider":"Yvon Lambert Paris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
