Although, this is late I still wanted to do the assignment, I really wanted to look at the blogs that were given. And although I am not planning on becoming a fashion designer, I appreciate the architecture that goes into making a single garment. I found an article on www.wallpaper.com about the avant-garde designer Yohji Yamamoto. Something he said really stuck with me, The life or death of a garment depends on finding the point of rapture for that button. A garment may have three buttons, or six, but it is the location of that single button that is the key. The other buttons are but useful foot soldiers." This shows his belief that one button, one small object, can make or break a design or garment. I think that this is important that in the fact, that anything about anything, can make or break a design. The design has to be well executed of course, but we are rather looking at the usefulness or our one button, of the item before what we find to be our other buttons, or the look of our design. I would love to read his book and find out more about the way he works.
