Essay Research

I met with Miles Lambert Senior Manager at Platt Hall Gallery of Costume about Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Hussein Chalayan and Isabel Toledo. He said they all, "look beyond the constraints of fashion," and this is what interests me about their clothes.

Black stretch pleated polyester dress Issey Miyake  2001/02
 Black crepe cocktail dress Hussein Chalayan 2005/06

I also visited the pattern book archive and found a beautiful fabric sample book by Junichi Arai who co-founded Nuno Corporation with Reiko Sudo. 
One sample was folded giving a watery effect and many had metal content.
