In 2016 Leela and The 8 Percent were invited to document a collaboration between iconic French fashion house Hermes and artist Gwon Osang. The brand and the artist collaborated on a jaw-dropping window display, using Gwon’s signature art style—realistic models created using photographs.
The launch took place at Herme’s flagship Australian store in Sydney and drew a huge crowd who all wanted to see this innovative creation. Leela and her crew were on site for the launch, and also interviewed Gwon about his art and his work with Hermes.
