Conversations with Bernar Venet – A Man Transcending Limits
I discover more about the life, work and artistic process of a man who claims determination and luck to be the secret to success and visit the Venet Foundation to see in person the accumulation of his ideas, stories and values.

The worlds of fashion and art not only have many intersections but more in common than we think. Fashion is known for its garishness, but is more popular and accessible, while art is exclusive; highbrow, niche and elitist. Fashion is consumeristic, its fleeting trends are short-lived and ephemeral. On the other hand, art is seen as an investment with lasting value… These stereotypes set them apart, and yet their similarities in the way they operate are countless.
