« (…)Tutto può essere utile, persino gli scarti. Basta guardare la realtà con gli occhi di un bambino. Come fa questa artista francese, 40 anni, che dopo la collaborazione con Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, immagina di mettere le ali ai corpi dei migranti(…) »

« (…)A highlight from the show was the series of surreal jackets created in collaboration with sculptor and textile artist Mona Luison. The pieces — wearable works of art — were worn inside out, for a collection that Kawakubo dubbed “What’s on the Inside Matters.” Luison adorned the garments with a patchwork of baby doll body parts and stuffed animals, additionally her prints were applied to a number of the t-shirts too.(…) »

Le Monde

« (…)Dans ce charmant désordre, tout fonctionne : shorts à paillettes, tee-shirts imprimés, longues chemises rayées, mosaïques de tartan, de peluches panthère, sculptures en « morceaux » de poupée de l’artiste Mona Luison incrustées dans des vestes (à l’endroit, celles-ci), gilets à broderies indiennes posées sur des vestes de banquiers… C’est farfelu et réjouissant, toutes les silhouettes font envie, de manière presque contre-intuitive tant chacune d’entre elles va puiser loin des codes de la mode masculine.(…) »

WWD

« (…)The designer worked with the sculptor and textile artist Mona Luison on a few of the designs — notably the jackets embellished with doll parts, scary-looking stuffed fabric creatures, and plastic domes that magnified the baby dolls’ faces. Luison’s prints were applied to some of the T-shirts, too. The pieces — wearable works of art — were among the highlights in this collection where each look practically outshined the next.(…) »

« (…)Yet, aside from three jackets bristling with doll parts created in collaboration with the textile artist Mona Luison (although it could just as easily have been the prop guy’s from a Wes Craven movie), the mood of the collection was almost giddy.(…) »

« (…)Towards the end of the show there were also jackets covered in bits and pieces of dolls of the kind you may see in the windows of a historical doll hospital in Italy. Prints representing assemblages of dolls and textile elements were also replicated on shirts. These pieces were actually collaborations with sculptor, textile artist and jewellery designer Mona Luison.(…)The results are surprising hybrid items suspended between art pieces, crafts and fashion accessories, always inspired by a sense of joy and playfulness and often evoking childhood.(…) »

Le Figaro

« (…)Ses gamins décomplexés se moquent bien de savoir si les paillettes de leurs bermudas, le léopard, le velours palatine et les fleurettes de leurs blousons portés à l’envers ou les poupées de l’artiste Mona Luison intégrant leurs vestons sont des matières ou des codes naguère connotés fille.(…) »

« (…)Team work: Kawakubo collaborated with the French sculptor and textile artist Mona Luison on three embellished jackets with jutting limbs of dolls and crocheted appendages and a series of prints used across T-shirts and shirts. Luison’s sculptures are always made from recycled objects. Here, she used a collection of toys, embroidered clothing and plastic to create a dystopian three-dimensional comic book; an interrogation into the meaning of life and death(…). »

« (…)Trois pièces ont été réalisées en collaboration avec l’artiste Mona Luison, qui réalise des poupées 3D en textile à la tête maléfique, ici accrochées sur les vestes. (…). »

Dazed

« (…)Sculptor Mona Luison (who worked on a capsule collection of jewellery in 2011 with Comme called Love Me Tender) was invited back to create a series of jackets. Imagine Louise Bourgeois let loose on a toy box after a strong dose of acid: rubber dinosaurs with rabbit faces and dolls with Barbie limbs extending out of their eye sockets all protruded from the fabric. “We spoke about inside/outside, explosion, strangeness, toys, dolls…” the artist said of the creative process, adding that being at the show (her first) was “amazing”. “I was very pleased to see such good spirits, I loved being in that place at that moment. It was a great privilege for me to work on the collection(…). »

« The sense of joy, playfulness and pure artistry in Mona Luison’s work embodies Picasso’s understanding of art as being innate and childlike(…). »

Textil artist

« Emmanuelle Loison makes outlandishly fantastic sculptures constructed of up-cycled materials. The heavy knotted configurations resemble dolls, totems, ceremonial clothing, transforming the wearer into a sort of mythical figure(…). »

Thread, fashion and costume

« Mona Luison uses donated and found materials to collage garments, initially, she crafted jewellery items but these have organically grown into larger items sculptural clothing.(…). »
