Milan at the fashion week
4. Question of the day
Here’s an article about Nanni’s work on Domus.
By the way, her first truly famous work was “The cloak and the skin”, but she is also known for having made the world’s first seamless machine-knitted dress!
“I have not done anything else than designing clothes. My entire professional
career is dedicated to fashion, which I regard as a project, such as design projects or architecture, far away from the rules of couture,” Nanni Strada
A guideto the Parallel Practices in Fashion and Architecture exhibition. A very nice reference to keep.
Nanni Strada said: “I will never make another curved line, a design like a silhouette, I’ll only make geometries.”
Elements and structures obtainable with square pieces of cloth, and with cuts, folds and stitches. Link.
Five nice and free designer sewing patterns to download, get started or simply inspired:
A kimono-like top by Alexander McQueen
A dress by Martin Margiella
Another dress, this time by Junya Watanabe
A pirate jacket by John Galliano
A mysterious jacket by our beloved Yohji Yamamoto
“You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.” Vivienne Westwood
First, you need to learn the rules. Then, you need to forget about them...
Denise Bonapace
Very nice images and inspirations from “The Hot House: Italian New Wave Design”, a book Andrea Branzi wrote in 1984.
Rick Genest. Or, as Cher would say: “For someone who likes tattoos, the most precious thing is bare skin”

The Mappamodello. A photographs, illustration and patterns’ catalog of historic
Eastern clothing and working attire. A collection of patterns, reinterpreted by her and all contained on a singular pattern!

6.Homework
Today, you will plan, draw, make a full scale paper model of your future “dress”.
Think about it’s volume. Think about it’s fit. But above all, think about the seams. How will you put your “dress”’pieces together?
I will not make a dress. I have 4 purple dresses already! Also I know a little about sewing and to make a proper dress will take me a lot of time. I am not that skilled! So I'll make a skirt. Well, I will not make a skirt either. Find more in my next uploads.
