'A-POC making', Issey Miyake and Dai Fujiwara.

What is 'a-poc’?

Over length sweaters, dresses off the roll - 'a-poc' is based upon Miyake's first design concept, a piece of cloth, is a new and unique suggestion for everyday life, which goes far beyond the boundaries of fashion. It is made using an industrial knitting or weaving machine programmed by a computer. This process creates continuous tubes of fabric within which lie both shape and pattern. The customer cuts sleeves and skirts exactly to the length he wants. It is an idea that totally overthrows the existing standards for making clothes. A-poc' is made in a sequence in which thread literally goes into a machine and re-emerges as a piece of clothing, an accessory, or even a chair. This interactive new method not only reduces leftover fabric but also permits the wearers to participate in the final step of the design of their clothing: they determine the final shape of the product. Mass production and custom-made clothing, seemingly opposing ideas, become compatible with each other through the wizardry of technology and the fire of imagination.

Issey Miyake is famously known for his pleats, he uses pleats both as an aesthetic complexity and a means for movement within his designs.

What I love about a-poc is that is breaks the most fundamental rule of fashion, cut and sew.  This method requires no sewing, sounds perfect to me!
