Cathy Horyn, fashion writer for the New York Times, started her own blog about a week ago. She did this really great post on Alber Elbaz of Lanvin, documenting an issue he had with this super futuristic polyester fabric. They made a digital flipbook of his sketches and the construction steps he took in creating a dress from the trouble fabric. It’s really interesting to see the problem solving involved. I also really love seeing his sketches and the process of developing an abstract idea. Hopefully sometime soon, I can get some similar information to share from our FP designers!
Alber says…
her blog is really interesting. i loved reading it & the flipbook was fun to look at.
nothing about the new display….
WOW I am in love with Cathy Horyn right now…to be able to peek into a “legitimate” journalists brain and have her say things like “I was thinking about my hat…” Genius.
I absolutely love the notebook idea. You find the most amazing things! Your blog is always unique and so interesting! Great stuff!
Umm, the process reveals so much of the character doesn’t it – just like a blog.
