Uzuri Ubichi

Agathe Zaerpour & Philippine Chaumont – Uzuri Ubichi

For this project, we both wanted to use different mediums – graphic design, photography, video, fashion. We also wanted to base our diploma on reality, and to talk about fashion in countries where it is not as documented as here yet. So we travelled to Nairobi, to meet some of the Kenya Fashion Week designers, to make an inventory of fashion there, and of what we found around it. This book compiles collaborations with those designers and documentary folders. From this duality results a project which oscillates between Fashion and Report, Uzuri Ubichi, Beauty and Rawness.

with Adeline Mollard

  Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.

Visual Identity – BA2 S2 2026

with Adeline Mollard

As part of the visual identity course with Adeline Mollard, the students developed a visual identity based on a randomly drawn business card. By appropriating a graphic element and its title, each project offers a singular interpretation of it. Each proposal also involves the selection of a tool linked to the associated event (tattoo machine, sander, lithography equipment, etc.), used as a conceptual and graphic extension of the project. The identity is deployed across a range of formats, from business card to F4 size, including posters, flyers, business cards, as well as an animated poster.
