Echo. Wrapped in Memory

“Echo. Wrapped in Memory” by Elisa de Wyngaert and Lou Stoppard explores the intimate connection between clothing and memory with a focus on the works of artist Louise Bourgeois, designer Simone Rocha, and choreographer and dancer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker.

The essays and interviews in this book explore the personal, universal and tactile memories of baby, child and motherhood, aging and nostalgia, handmaking and repair, and both the physical and emotional memories of clothing. The book features precious childhood drawings by designers Martin Margiela, Christian Lacroix, Mikio Sakabe, Bernhard Willhelm, Simone Rocha, Jean Paul Gaultier, amongst others.

A limited number of copies signed by Simone Rocha will be available at Dover Street Market New York on Wednesday May 1st as part of Frieze New York 2024.
