Living in Mumbai, halfway across the globe from London, I had only read about French sculptor Fred Allard’s work. I heard about his work being displayed in Gallery Bartoux in Mayfair, and couldn’t wait to go there. His signature ‘Shopping Bags’ are so iconic and meticulously crafted that its impossible to see something like them anywhere else. Each bag features a brand having a signature design, vibrant colours paired with basic amenities like cans or headphones is what I think makes them so unique. Its the perfect amalgamation of Street and Luxury. He tries to bridge the gaps between High fashion and Street style creating an impeccable hybridity in the form of these bags.
