Tristan Réhel

Tristan Réhel is a fashion designer and visual artist who works and lives in Montreal, Canada. He graduated in 2020 from Université du Québec à Montréal with an undergrad diploma in Design and Stylism where he gradually constructed a colourful and grotesque universe situated on the border of reality and fantasy. In an aesthetic that is simultaneously experimental, playful and theatrical, his creations express an emotional and self-identifying need of letting go. Growing up, he always had a curiosity for queer culture, horror iconography, and sexual liberation. Taking a look inside the complexity of one’s personality, his label reflects how one’s personal interests that seem at odds with one another can evolve into this FEVER-DREAM-CORE world. This beautiful chaos finds expression in the designer’s colourful pieces full of ribbons, frills, and glitters which exist alongside contrasted, spikes, raw edges, and nightmarish textures, often rendered in big sculptural proportions surpassing the body that is wearing it.
