However, having just seen "Dior and I" and experienced what Raf 'designed' as collaboration between the members of the atelier and himself, it's an interesting form of collaborative art. Although why call it 'mending'? Non-functional stitching seems more like 'embellishment'.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11563230869151812456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-41213577422982180962015-05-02T05:16:34.641-04:002015-05-02T05:16:34.641-04:00Surely the stranger is the one giving the gift.

What bothers me is that the mending isn't going to be functional. <br /><br />If the concept is for a stranger to do a generous act for another stranger, but they do a piss poor job, what's the message?<br />marknoreply@blogger.com
