Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a French artist known best for his use of colorful cutouts to make collages, mobiles, and sculptures. Huge admirers of his art, we were excited when the largest-ever exhibition of his cutout work opened last week at the Tate Modern in London, where we both live. As an homage to this singular visionary, we collaborated on this fashion story.
Thanks to Verity Pemberton for styling, Rachel and Effie for modelling, Kate for assisting, and Tate Modern for their invaluable help.

This was very pleasing to the eyes. Colour and patterning and human beings are lovely things.
These are such delightful photos! As a lover of bright colours and clashing prints, I’ll definitely be using these as inspiration in future! :D
I love Matisse and these photos are amazing, good job, Eleanor and Marjainez! I think my favourite photo is no. 5: it’s not really as complex as others but it’s SO CUTE

Very nice!! I like the first picture the best :~)
God! That button up in Number 5 is giving me pause.
