Bistrot des Enfants Terribles is a fashion curation project and campaign (that includes an Editorial, a Publication and Runway shows event. Exploring of the intersection between hip-hop culture and contemporary fashion, featuring the works of eight talented emerging designers. Collaborating across borders, the project showcases unique pieces by Anastasia Selivanova (Russia), Dame Apres Paris (Spain), Jae Studios (China), Jeremiah Currat (Switzerland), OneThousand (Finland), Prototype AM (Germany), Rafaela Pestritu (Romania), and Underthesign (France). Through a blend of diverse perspectives, the project highlights how designers reinterpret hip-hop's influence to create fresh, boundary-pushing narratives in fashion.

At the heart of the project is a collaborative editorial shoot, merging pieces from all eight designers to craft cohesive, innovative looks that celebrate individuality and collective creativity. Shot in a vintage London studio, the shoot pairs nostalgic aesthetics with modern styling. Using polaroid and medium format film, the photography emphasizes texture, craftsmanship, and authenticity, reflecting the spirit of collaboration while pushing the boundaries of traditional editorial fashion storytelling.

The final showcase is a runway event in Hackney, London, featuring a curated exhibition during the day, the designer’s runways during the evening, followed by live music performances of various DJs and musicians during the night.
