Works on Paper: Behind the Seams with the Designers of ‘Crafting Joy’ | V Magazine

What happens when you ask a group of designers to forget everything they know about fabric and start with a sheet of paper? For Anya Taylor-Joy’s V162 cover story ‘Crafting Joy,’ that question resulted in garments that were molded, crushed, layered, wetted, sculpted, and sometimes left almost entirely to chance. With the finished images now on the page, V's Senior Fashion Editor went back to the designers behind them to find out exactly how they got there. In a special conversation, the designers take us inside the making of ‘Crafting Joy,’ tracing the ideas and experiments that turned paper into wearable art.The result was a fashion story built as much on experimentation as it was on the final image. See the creations up close this Friday, October 2, from 11:30 AM–6 PM CEST at Librairie 7L, 7 Rue de Lille, Paris, during a special public viewing for Paris Fashion Week.
