Thom Browne (American, born 1965)
Dress
Spring/Summer 2013, ready to wear
Laser-cut white ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam.
It's very rare for me to make an item of clothing in which the hand is absent entirely, but this dress-made from EVA foam, but designed to look like leather-was cut by a machine, sewn by a machine, and finished by a machine. I love the precision and perfection of merchinemade clothes just as much as I love the imprecision and imperfections of handmade clothes.
