Collage Meets Clothing
At Le PÈRE, we see creativity as a force that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This principle is exemplified in our collaboration with Antonio Carrau, the Uruguayan artist whose boundary-pushing vision transforms materials into moments of wonder.
Antonio’s art explores movement, texture, and abstraction. With a background in graphic design and a collage style developed through self-guided exploration, he achieves a striking balance between precision and spontaneity. Using layers of glazed paper and bold acrylics, his work adds depth to simple forms, revealing details such as shadow play and even traces of glue that encourage closer reflection. Each piece conveys a sense of quiet beauty.
For Antonio, each creation is a conversation between what was planned and what emerged unexpectedly. This dialogue echoes our design DNA at le PÈRE, where intentional craftsmanship meets raw artistic energy.
Art in Motion
In this collaboration, Antonio’s signature language finds a new surface—clothing designed to be lived in, felt, and seen. Together, we’ve created two standout garments that bridge the space between fine art and functional fashion while embodying Le PÈRE’s distinct creative identity.
The Carrau Tee
Bold and kinetic, the Carrau Tee captures Antonio’s multicolored orbs in mid-motion, scattered across vintage-washed cotton. A distressed “Quartier Le PÈRE” print adds grit, echoing the streetwise grace of city life. With its oversized silhouette, the tee delivers effortless comfort wrapped in unapologetic style—tailored for those who wear their creativity.
The Carrau Sweatshirt
Crafted from plush, heavyweight, brushed cotton, it carries a faded, layered motif drawn from Antonio’s textured collages. Every inch invites touch, exploration, and curiosity. Whether dressed down or worn to make a statement, this sweatshirt channels raw emotion shaped by intentional design.
When Form Follows Feeling
What sets this partnership apart is its ability to blend the structured with the spontaneous, the artistic with the everyday. Antonio’s pieces aren’t just visual—they tell stories. And now, through these garments, those stories live on the streets, shared by individuals who celebrate creativity in moving through the world.
At Le PÈRE, we honor craft by infusing every seam with intention. These pieces are ethically made in Portugal, where quality and care are stitched into every thread.
This collaboration is more than a meeting of aesthetics—it’s a fusion of visions. It invites our community to engage with art beyond the gallery wall.
