In 2023, Gab Bois extended her offerings of collectible items by releasing her own campy approach to Ready-to-Wear with a capsule entitled Canapés, a tongue-in-cheek reference to her business model: small bites, small quantities, simple pleasures.
The first drop of Canapés was inspired by the overwhelming response to a rhubarb purse Gab created in 2020, which was originally intended as a creative concept only. The Rhubarb drop in December 2023 features two pieces: a knit blend sweater adorned with a graphic print using DTG technology and a purse constructed from 3D models of real rhubarb leaves. These wearable art objects are an extension of Gab Bois’s signature visual language, notably deriving from her use of food props in her photography work. Canapés was born out of the artist’s desire to offer an immersive experience to her audience, and allow them to own a piece of her universe.
The second drop of Canapés, called the Clementine Collection, pays a zesty homage to the clementine and features a knit cotton sweater with a clementine graphic print and heeled sandals with a PVC strap, ABS hand-painted heels, and leather uppers & laces, made in Italy by expert craftsmen. The heels of the sandals are made from 3D models of real clementines. As with the first collection drop of Canapés, the items comprising the Clementine Collection will be available in limited quantities in line with the brand’s conscious ethos, and to offer exclusivity to its clientele.
