Introduction
How You Make It looks at a range of conceptual approaches to fashion design. It focuses on practice-based research where cutting, marking, joining and sizing — the cornerstones of garment production — are used to create a language from which design philosophies grow. Here, play and material thinking are a productive resource and a design value. Often existing garments have been deconstructed, reconfigured and reworked using fine tailoring techniques and self-established design schemes. These systems are used to explore and create new garment forms and new ways of wearing clothes. These Australian practitioners open a dialogue between craft and design that sees formal processes become a platform for experimentation.
