Had to sew over spiral design as above-- failed miserably.

Bach, Notre Dame—also integrate themselves into the collection in an emotive, but never literal way. “My MA (2008) collection is titled Wave of Light," says Kawasaki, who now lives and works in Tokyo. "During my studies, I visited cathedrals in Paris, Milan and Barcelona and I got inspired from the kind of light coming from the outside.

An internship at Balenciaga three years ago might have something to do with it. “Everything I saw there was so fresh and exciting,” Kawasaki enthuses. “I was in charge of making the rough samples based on Nicolas' drawings. Most of the time we were working on couture pieces, so I had the great fortune of watching and learning couture techniques, as well as seeing the amazing embroideries by Lesage.”
