- Summary:
- Taking the concept of 'seamlessness' as her starting point, Yeseung Lee offers an innovative practice-based investigation into the meaning of the handmade in the age of technological revolution and globalized production and consumption. Combining first-hand experience of making seamless garments with references to psychoanalysis, anthropology and cultural studies, Lee reveals the ways that a garment can reach to our inner sense of being, and how hor seamless garments can represent the ambiguity of a modern subject in a perpetual process of becoming. Richly illustrated and firmly rooted in the actual work of creation, this daringly innovative book breaks new ground for fashion research. Book jacket.
