Electronic and inflatable clothing by Fairytale Fashion.
Fashion scaled the ivory tower Friday at the Issey Miyake fall-winter 2010-11 ready-to-wear display, where complicated mathematical theorems found expression in fabric.
On hand at the display was Cornell University Professor William Thurston, whose Geometrization Conjecture inspired Miyake designer Dai Fujiwara. Thurston’s theory was described in the collection notes as “a comprehensive vision of eight geometries that are sufficient to form an ideal shape for all possible three-dimensional topologies.”
