3. Draping

Vivienne Westwood Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear
Vivienne Westwood Fall 2008

This material draped around the body creates such and elegance. The soft, downy folds of  duchess satin, the shoulder-obliterating silhouettes and the rumpled folds is one of Westwoods signature styles.

Alber Elbaz Spring 2010

Elbaz's Spring 2010 collection demonstrates the soft feminine lines that draping material over the body can create. Draping material is the opposite to tailoring... when material is draped it creates soft line which do not hug the body.

Junya Watanabe

I love Junya Watanabe's work, he creates not only amazing art forms but also innovative and wearable garments. Watanabe uses an abundance of material to for these soft line that wrap around the body.
