CONCEPT X ART X FASHION
Experimental at heart, eventful by essence, ILANIO's projects range from the purely conceptual to the practical and wearable. Think of the art side of what we do as the R&D department for the collectibles that we sell.

ir | ILANIO is the brainchild of experimental artist Ilan Reuben, and a reflection of his ongoing creative quest. His work examines how clothing both signifies and controls our relationship with our bodies, and the psychological, sexual, social, and spiritual implications of that connection. ILANIO is his effort to create a community around this work. To bring it to more people, on a deeper level. To infuse artistic expressiveness in everyday life. |
