Visit Camp Couture by Milou Stella

Milou Stella is an interdisciplinary artist with a wide background in textiles, known for creating playful, participatory experiences that invite people of all ages to make, imagine, and experiment. Their work blurs the lines between craft, performance, and visual art, often using wearable forms as a site for expression, improvisation, and collective joy.

Milou has years of experience delivering workshops at festivals, community spaces, and cultural events, where they cultivate warm, welcoming environments for the curious and defiant. Whether through crafting surreal hats, leading DIY costume parades, or hosting chaotic life drawing sessions, they encourage a spirit of improvisation, making do with what's available, and celebrating the unexpected.

Their approach is rooted in accessibility and fun, with a deep appreciation for the absurd, the handmade, and the in-between. Tools like glue guns, wire, fabric scraps, and cardboard become instruments of transformation, inviting participants to explore without pressure or perfectionism. Milou believes in art as a space of collective imagination—where things don’t have to make sense to be meaningful.

When not running workshops, Milou develops their own multidisciplinary practice exploring themes of kinship, queerness, and ecological entanglement through textiles, sound, and performance. Always with a wink—and usually draped in something shiny, loud, or fabulously over-the-top.
