That is, she would like to see you wearing the library, namely in the form of one of her fantastic couturier gowns.<\/h1>\n<p>Made from actual antiquarian books that she takes apart and manipulates, Facon\u2019s creations are at once both avant-garde and romantic, innovative and steeped in history. She collects materials from the odd corners of library and bookstore, where she says you\u2019ll find \u201cpassion fully expressed, a mastery of subjects\u201d\u2014though the tomes themselves have probably languished unopened for years. Or think of them this way: waiting. It is their destiny to be rediscovered and repurposed, cleverly fashioned into marvels to make their wearers and beholders gasp.<\/p>\n<p>By now you\u2019re already imagining yourself slipping into a one-of-a-kind Facon. Pull the heavy bindings and spines up around your spine. Settle the gathered pages around your waist and get help lacing yourself into that corset. You have entered the fever dream of a writer, bookseller, couturier, reader, lover. With every step, your gown sways like a bell; your pages rustle; the edges of your bodice part to reveal precious handwritten lines. You can truly call yourself an open book when an ancient tome\u2019s pages unfurl from your hips.<\/p>\n<p>Already known for unique bridal wear and floral gowns, Facon\u2014a resident of Arras, France\u2014was inspired to create her first book dress when she encountered steampunk. The movement\u2019s philosophy about using old materials to make something unexpected and new gave her exciting visions of new uses for book covers and bindings.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview that took place over email, Facon said, \u201cWhat I love most in old books is what I call \u2018the colors of time\u2019s passing\u2019: the aged leathers, the color of their pages, what\u2019s unique and precious. The fact that they have been witnesses to lives, generations, big events\u2014that they\u2019ve survived all of that to arrive at me.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9502&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]By making books into dresses, she \u201ccan put them into conversation with other precious materials that enhance their beauty.\u201d So to their sturdy leather and foxed pages she adds tulle, rattan, and lace to create garments both spectacular and personal: showy statement pieces that feel as intimate as a whisper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI work from an impulse toward harmony and gentleness,\u201d she says, \u201cthus very few contrasts.\u201d When she looks for materials, she has an eye out for \u201csketches, drawings, and paintings with a lot of finesse. Elegant typography. An impression of profusion.\u201d\u00a0 The colors are in half-tint, slightly faded, never \u201cgarish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She has completed nine out of a projected ten chapters, each one a different dress. What drives the series is \u201cabove all a desire to say things in my own way, to tell stories.\u201d Her authorship is emphasized in a technique that partially erases it, as she makes sure none of the sewing work shows. Only the final creation should be seen, she says: \u201cWe move from one kind of material to another in an almost invisible way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The effect does not come easily. A dress needs curves to fit a woman\u2019s body, but the old leather bindings and spines are not supple. Facon has a \u201clittle secret\u201d for protecting their integrity while she works with them\u2014and an artist must guard her secrets closely\u2014but she says she does not use steam or any chemical products to alter the physical books. She simply works with them gently, coaxing them into the shapes she requires. Call her the book whisperer.<\/p>\n<p>Inspiration comes also from a friend\u2019s bookstore in the center of Arras. The ground floor may look like a typical bookshop, but, she says, \u201cthe mezzanine level takes us to the past. Thousands of old books are packed tight on shelves that sag under their weight\u201d\u2014old books that are no longer for sale and that \u201chave no great value, but in my eyes are very aesthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her own personal library is curated for the visual and the magical. She loves illustrated editions about fairies, elves, dragons, and other enchanted creatures, and the work of French artists Sandrine Gestin and Didier Graffet. \u201cTheir world is also mine,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>That world is ever expanding into entire universes of possibility. One idea sparks another as Facon builds couture out of fantasy. One of the challenges she faces while creating the book dresses is precisely \u201cto stay in the realm of original haute couture, not costume.\u201d She explains that a costume is a way of transforming oneself to embody a character or era; a costumer puts her creativity at the service of the client\u2019s vision. Original haute couture requires precise technical savoir faire and flawless handmade execution\u2014most important, it represents an artistic vision that soars above the materials to express ideas of the art, artist, and time themselves.<\/p>\n<p>In one of Facon\u2019s creations, you don\u2019t just wear the story; you are the story.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong> Visit Sylvie Facon online at <a href=\"http:\/\/sylviefacon-creatrice.fr\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sylviefacon-creatrice.fr\/en\/home<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Find Susann Cokal online at <a href=\"http:\/\/susanncokal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">susanncokal.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9501&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Subscribe!&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;grey&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Subscribe Today!&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;flat&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;mulled-wine&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;center&#8221; btn_button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fenchantedlivingmag.com%2Fcollections%2Fsubscribe|target:_blank|rel:nofollow&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><i><img data-dominant-color=\"7d7263\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7d7263;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9487 size-medium aligncenter has-transparency\" src=\"https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-230x300.png\" alt=\"Spring Book Lovers Cover by Enchanted Living Magazine\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-786x1024.png 786w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-768x1001.png 768w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-1178x1536.png 1178w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-696x907.png 696w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-1068x1392.png 1068w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue-322x420.png 322w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EnchantedLiving-Spring-BookLovers-Issue.png 1522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/>Enchanted Living<\/i><\/em> is a quarterly print magazine that celebrates all things enchanted.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Subscribe now and begin with our Spring Book Lovers issue!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_cta]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_column_text] Sylvie Facon would like to see you in the library.
