Walk with Pierre Hardy

Pierre Hardy & the ECAL present the exhibition “Walk with Pierre Hardy”, featuring fifteen iconic models visually reinterpreted by the students of Bachelor Photography.

On the occasion of Paris Photo, Pierre Hardy & the ECAL – University of Art and Design Lausanne – present the exhibition “Walk with Pierre Hardy”. Fifteen iconic models by the designer were visually reinterpreted by the students of Bachelor Photography under the direction of Philippe Jarrigeon.

This project allowed the students to question the relationship between photography and footwear, and by extension to confront the interconnection between photography and fashion.

“I really enjoyed interacting with the students. At ECAL, my role was very different from that of a teacher coaching the students on their work – as I myself was the subject I knew the stuff inside out! Just show me half a centimetre of a heel and I instantly recognise the model which I created”, says Pierre Hardy.
