Extract of a catalogue proposal for the French-Algerian fashion designer Yves Castaldi, based in Los Angeles, California.

"In his work Yves combines elegance with rock n' roll spirit to achieve a mysterious yet playful and unique collection. His creations are always full of passion and energy."* And that is what he wanted to be expressed in the catalogue he asked me to create. So I compiled a list with strong keywords, representing the spirit of his work. These keywords – combined with the personality of Yves himself – build the creative source of my design, mixed with his favorite colors black, white and red.
