Saturday, March 24th, 2007Issey Miyake
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Some time in the 1980s Issey Miyake had a bustier period with a totally fresh take. Function was abandoned and the garment became purely decorative – a fun project exploiting the characteristics of a variety of materials. I chose this bamboo model to use in an exercise exploring some techniques that would highlight the concept underlying the design.

This picture with Leni was taken in Munich in the early 70′s. We were serving on the jury for a photographic competition organised by Der Spiegel. A friendly argument developed during a break in the judging activities. Postal sacks filled with the competition entries swamped the corridors leaving little room for chairs.
