>le "Rectangle Jaune" nouveau est arrive!

It's that time of the year again!
The launching of the new clothing collection by Rectangle Jaune...
We get to work on the concept, art direction and design of a 64 pages catalogue twice a year (winter and summer): it's exhausting but also great fun! Though telling a Ukrainian model (who does not speak a word of English) to relax in the bottom of a pool is not the easiest thing to do...
The theme of the season was water and we offered a funky sports bottle with each catalogue!
