The first great semantic opposition in human dress was that between flat, uncut, unsewn, two-dimensional fabric, typical of Asia, with its many definitions and workmanship— ao-dai,hanbok, kimono, lungi, sari, and many others, which all stand in the various languages for “a piece of cloth”—and three-dimensional fabric, i.e. cut and sewn, characteristic of the European sartorial silhouette. The Issey Miyake collection APOC (launched in 1971) is a good example. It is described as clothing made from “a Piece of Cloth,” a concept that explores not only the relationship between the body and clothing, but also the space that is born between them.

Abstract

The first great semantic opposition in human dress was that between flat, uncut, unsewn, two-dimensional fabric, typical of Asia, with its many definitions and workmanship— ao-dai,hanbok, kimono, lungi, sari, and many others, which all stand in the various languages for “a piece of cloth”—and three-dimensional fabric, i.e. cut and sewn, characteristic of the European sartorial silhouette. The Issey Miyake collection APOC (launched in 1971) is a good example. It is described as clothing made from “a Piece of Cloth,” a concept that explores not only the relationship between the body and clothing, but also the space that is born between them.
