CAT TAYLOR'S INVISIBLE FASHION

For a long time, the world of fashion was faced with the idea that the future of virtual models will end up devaluing the concept of real modeling. Why adapt designs to a body when you can create the ideal one without having to feed your ego or to deal with the human being's intrinsic problems? Taking this paradigm into account, what Cat Taylor does could be considered the ultimate revolution, translated into the question: who needs a real body?

After all, this digital artist has become known specifically for her creations of invisible bodies wearing clothes by brands such as Raf Simons, Chloé, Balenciaga, Vetements, Rick Owens, Off-White, A COLD WALL*, Slazenger and, recently Alexander Wang for adidas. Be it plain backgrounds or fantastic landscapes, Taylor's non-bodies move sinuously through space, with the ease of any supermodel. Their movements are fluid and exhibit, surprisingly, a style and a class that many models take years to dominate. Bear in mind though that the artist's idea isn't to rob (real or virtual) models of their job: it is rather to offer the fashion industry a sustainable escape route. With creations like hers, producing prototypes costs neither money nor materials. And as it is today, it couldn't be more convenient than that.

Curiously, Cat Taylor's revolution doesn't stop there. This former Chelsea College of Arts student, known on Instagram under the pseudonym of @cattay, is also the creator of DIGI-GAL (@digigxl), a creative community made up of women and non-binary people specializing in 3D and animation. A real creative launching pad for the LGBTIQ community which, at the same time, is not limited to queer introspection, but also explores the aesthetics and ideas of the future. Who knows, the next revolutionary idea could be just around the corner. And Cat Taylor and DIGI-GAL might be behind it.
