Issey Miyake Pleats Please Guess Artist Series (1998), constructed by chinese artist: Cai Guo-Qiang

Pleats Please Guest Artist Series, a collaboration between Issey Miyake and up-and-coming artists. This time, in honor of the 'Forbidden State', gunpowder was exploded on clothes, and an abstract image of a dragon, which is a symbol of 'life' in China, was created on cloth using the latest printing technology. The efforts of the two, who are always seeking new creativity, resulted in a piece that considers further possibilities for fashion.

Iris Apfel, a textile expert, interior designer and fashion celebrity known for her eccentric style, has died. She was 102.

Her death was confirmed by her commercial agent, Lori Sale, who called Apfel “extraordinary.” No cause of death was given. It was also announced on her her verified Instagram page on Friday, which a day earlier had celebrated that Leap Day represented her 102nd-and-a-half birthday.

Smocking

I wanted to experiment using smocking as I felt that it could be an option for the bodice of my final garment. I created two samples, a smaller one with larger diamond shaped and a larger one with more layers but smaller diamonds. I feel that I like the look of the smaller diamonds as I just feel it makes the whole look very neat and uniform.

How to create;

- Draw dots at equal intervals,

- Thread cotton in lines, over and under, through the dots,

- Pull the loose threads tight to create folds,

- Sew every other two folds together, differing each time on each row,

- Pull out the loose thread that you began with,
