DECONSTRUCTION

Deconstruction Fashion: The making of the unfinished, decomposing and re- assembled clothes by Alison Gill

• “Unfinished, coming apart, recycled, transparent”
• “Analysis/ critique – the undoing of an argument”
• “Amy Spindler (1993) announced “deconstruction” as a rebellion against the 1980’s, the undoing of fashion as we know it, or the “coming apart” of fashions heritage, as it moved into the last decade of the twentieth century”

  

• “Martin Margiela sells linings extracted from vintage dresses, giving these linings a chance of a new old life “on the outside”. A labour stitched these inside as the secrets of a finished garment, Margiela simply brings these secrets to the surface.”
