“To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.”
Giorgio Armani
Everyday fashion components and elements such as the pocket, the sleeve, or the seam often become eclipsed by the theatrics of the fashion spectacle. Through an examination of the details in fashion garments such as fabrications, construction
techniques, surface decorations and finishes we can reconsider traditional methods and techniques of fashion making and lead designers to explore new innovations.
In particular this exhibition suggests that through this method of specialisation the lifecycle of a fashion garment may be extended. Whilst the exhibition does not attempt to offer all the solutions, it presents a range of creative responses that aim to engage and inspire other fashion designers to devise new creative interplays between contemporary fashion practice and sustainable methods.
