Orlan Scarf

Maison BROCHIER SOIERIES draws inspiration from this bold and unique approach to create a collection of silk accessories, where the textile becomes a canvas for the expression of art and identity.

The Art of Transformation and Provocation

The Body, Beauty, and Identity: Central Themes

Born in 1947, Orlan has explored questions of gender, beauty, and identity through performances and works that blend art, surgery, and technology. Her famous “self-modifications,” where she undergoes surgical procedures to reinvent her face according to Western beauty standards, have left a lasting impact. Through these performances, Orlan encourages reflection on notions of beauty, the body, and art in a society increasingly marked by superficiality and stereotypes.

A Collection Where the Body Becomes Art

Orlan’s works are a fusion of technology, body, and society, and these elements inspired our collection of silk accessories. Each piece captures the intensity and subversion of her art while adding a touch of refinement. The vibrant and bold prints embody Orlan’s provocative aesthetic, while respecting the elegance and tradition of luxury textiles.

Artisan Expertise in the Service of Art

Exceptional Silk, Printed with Precision

Printed in our Lyon workshop, each piece in the Orlan collection is crafted with extreme precision. The natural silk, chosen for its sublime texture and sheen, becomes the perfect canvas to convey the artist’s universe. Colors, shapes, and patterns are reproduced with unique artisanal know-how, bringing to life textile artworks that carry the spirit of contemporary art.

An Artful and Provocative Accessory

Wearing an Orlan silk accessory is not only about owning a work of art but also a form of provocation and questioning. Whether worn around the neck, in the hair, or framed as a museum piece, each scarf becomes a way to express a personal vision of the world and beauty. A unique and bold gift for those who dare to assert their singularity.

A Fusion of Art, Fashion, and Identity

The Orlan collection by Brochier Soieries embodies the meeting of subversive art and French textile tradition. With these silk creations, we pay tribute to an iconoclastic artist while celebrating the elegance and refinement of artisanal craftsmanship.
