Lacroix said he loved the accidental errors that can happen
when producing garments entirely by hand. it makes the piece more
magical more organic and more individual. The practice of one off pieces does
not help to support the cottage industries that produce the painstakingly hand
made fabrics the fact that only one or two will ever be made and that next
season that crafted fabrics style will no longer be on trend means that the
companies that produce these exquisite fabrics may not be financially supported
enough to carry through to the new decade. History is forgotten and fashion has
moved on.
Fabric adds to the movement of the body, it needs to
compliment the movement and add to. The starting point for design should be the
body.
Fashion design should suit everyone but be
challenging. Issey miyake and his fabric designer believe this and it
shows within his designs. Clothes that are practical yet revolutionary. He uses
his couture background and education to produce clothes that are easy to wear
without forgetting the craftsmanship and the art. Practical art.
