ATTENTIVENESS The quality or state of being attentive: regarding with care or attention:
Yoshiyuki Minami's design philosophy, which prioritizes handcraft, ethically sourced materials, and limited production, is a critical response to the destructive effects of the fashion industry on the environment. Minami created this ''Entanglement'' dress from organic cotton jersey harvested, processed, and milled in the United States. He cuts the fabric into strings and hand-ties them in continuous half knots to achieve a cascading effect. The improvisational process developed by Minami originates from traditional crochet and macramé techniques.
