Paper on the Nature of Deconstruction

The Loscialpo paper explores the theme of Deconstruction in relation to fashion and how it has evolved from the 1960s into present day. Minimalism played a key role in the 80s in pushing this idea further with Fine Artists and designers creating a more Minimalist aesthetic through their work. Examples of this would be Rei Kawakubo and Issey Miyake.

This paper uses Margiela and Kawakubo as contemporary examples which demonstrate the idea of destruction in their work by breaking down the idea of garment construction.
