As part of a course led by Philippe Jarrigeon, 2nd-year Bachelor of Photography students at ECAL/Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne were asked to work in the world of D'heygere jewelry and accessories. Between luxury and the ordinary, reality and representation, the students proposed new ways of interpreting the provocative, minimalist pieces.

To celebrate the anniversary of the iconic "El Primero" movement, a class of second year Photography students, undertook an exploration of the world of Zenith. Guided by fashion photographer and teacher Philippe Jarrigeon, the students worked inside the Le Locle manufacture and in ECAL's studios in Lausanne to create visuals specifically intended to be displayed around the world.

PIERRE HARDY & the ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne present the exhibition Walk with Pierre Hardy . Fifteen iconic models by the designer were visually reinterpreted by the students of Bachelor Photography under the direction of Philippe Jarrigeon. Additionally, a luxurious special publication marks the occasion. Presented for the first time in November 2016 during Paris Photo at the PIERRE HARDY boutique (Palais Bourbon), this exhibition was a huge success. Pierre Hardy thought that it was absolutely necessary to share this event with his Japanese friends. Therefore, the exhibition will be discovered from 18 to 22 May in the exhibition space related to the PIERRE HARDY boutique in Tokyo. “I really enjoyed interacting with the students. At ECAL, my role was very different from that of a teacher coaching the students on their work – as I myself was the subject I knew the stuff inside out! Just show me half a centimetre of a heel and I instantly recognise the model which I created”, says Pierre Hardy. The ECAL Bachelor Photography students thus worked on various collections produced by the Parisian designer in the past fifteen years in order to give them a new visual interpretation. Photographer Philippe Jarrigeon comments on the method he chose to conduct this workshop at ECAL: “Together with PIERRE HARDY’s team we selected fifteen pairs of shoes in the archives – a purely practical decision which allowed us to keep the models as long as we wanted at ECAL. In addition, this allowed students to free themselves from seasonal trends. At the beginning of the workshop in October 2015, each student got a model on which to work by drawing lots”. This project allowed the students to question the relationship between photography and footwear, and by extension to confront the interconnection between photography and fashion. Milo Keller, Head of Photography at ECAL, observes that “Students, working without any business constraints in that case, are less formatted than a professional and therefore often offer unexpected approaches”. The results are indeed surprising and offbeat, sometimes even provocative or poetic, but always treat the original creations with respect.

DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP
with Philippe Jarrigeon, Bethan Laura Wood
Following the collaboration initiated in 2011 around the iconic Harcourt glass, Baccarat and ECAL are continuing their common reflection in 2012. The students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship are all working on the same global project, combining object design, scenography, photography and the conception of a final publication. Supervised by London designer Bethan Laura Wood and Parisian photographer Philippe Jarrigeon, each group of students set out to revisit the universal theme of the Vase, starting from the same basic conical shape and questioning all of the Manufacture's know-how. Based on the principles of cutting, engraving, sandblasting and gilding, Vase-O-Rama was created, a hybrid and abundant collection, like a panorama.
