It’s perhaps no surprise the slow folk arts of former generations are returning to fashion just as the revolutions of the industry spin ever faster. From Erdem’s pastoral embroideries to the exquisite weaves at Alexander McQueen, which designer Sarah Burton called “artefacts of the hand”, many of the spring collections are a paean to vanishing craft techniques. The handmade effect is being felt off the catwalk, too, as a clutch of designers are now offering handmade homeware to complement their clothes.
时尚行业的变化一日千里,昔日不受待见的民间手艺重新风靡也许就不足为奇了。从埃德姆(Erdem)田园风格的刺绣装到设计师萨拉•伯顿(Sarah Burton)称为“手工精品”的亚历山大•麦奎(Alexander McQueen)高档针织毛衣,很多2106春季时装都是“缅怀”消失已久的手工技法。如今随着一些设计师开始推出手工打造的家居用品(与设计的时装珠联璧合),手工打造的影响力已显现于T型台之外。
