vroomheid: Comme des garçons fall 1998-99 Fusion The collection showed garments with unfinished patterns. In a linear approach to the construction methodology of fashion and clothing, it engages three-dimensional transformative objects from a two-dimensional pattern state. The pattern, or plan, reveals within it the instruction for manipulation the material, giving specific dimension and demands in which to construct the object. from rei kawakubo and comme des garçons

vroomheid: Martin Margiela autumn / winter 2001 On large rectangles of fabric (wool, camelhair, viscose) have details of a coat been added. Some have tie belts, others satin interior hem finishing and another the shoulder epaulettes and belt of a Trench coat. All have ‘slip sleeves’ so that when worn the rectangle hangs from the shoulder creating the effect of a coat from the back and a cape from the front. Extra large vintage dresses; skirts and logo T-shirts are compressed onto similar garments of much smaller size. They appear crushed down to size folded and pleated irregularly onto them. The logos on the T-shirts may only be read partially. Elements of classic Men’s tailoring: some are enlarged and others have their fronts veiled in the same fabric as their structure allowing details such as lapels and buttons to be seen only in relief. Jackets in wool (some pin-stripe) and velvet, waistcoats in leather (an evening version in satin), a short Evening jacket (‘Spencer’) in wool and a Man’s car coat in black leather. scan from purple fashion magazine #7 “pink memories”, photographed by chikashi suzuki
