Collaborations artistiques. Un espace de dialogue entre la marque et la création contemporaine.
Thought of as a natural extension of its vision, artistic collaborations are at the heart of the brand's identity. Driven by its founder and creator Dorothée Goroneskoul, they are expressed notably through photography, with Les Rencontres d'Arles as a privileged place for encounters, experiments and unique perspectives.

GIL & DO Galerie Arles
In 2014, at the Agnès b gallery booth at Paris Photo, Gil Rigoulet exhibited his series of unique photographs taken at the Molitor swimming pool in 1985. Dorothée showcased her swimwear creations there. The pools became their shared playground.
Upon Molitor's reopening in 2014, Gil reimmersed himself in the atmosphere of the place with Impossible Project's color Pola. He connected two eras thirty years apart and revealed the graphic and sensitive dimension of this Art Deco site, between 80s nostalgia and a contemporary gaze.
From this encounter, an artistic collaboration centered on swimwear was born. Gil photographs the female body with an intimate and graphic approach, where lines, materials, and colors interact with water.
For over thirty years, his work has explored this essential link between the body and water, in a subtle tension between art and fashion.
GALERIE DO
Trained in Paris with major photography figures, from Bettina Rheims to Patrick Demarchelier, Ben Dauchez develops a free and powerful vision.
A friend, Daphnée, introduced me to Ben, and very quickly we organized a first shooting for DO Paris. The alchemy was immediate.
Together, we explored a universe where heritage, intuition, and the celebration of a deeply human beauty meet, blending Ben's journey with our graphic and stylistic inspirations.
This collaboration reflects the soul of DO Paris: a bold look at the body and silhouette, between elegance, modernity, and authenticity.
