2008: a Space Odyssey With Tsumori Chisato

 

We are never quite sure what to expect from Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato but are always excited to find out. We love her for her daring leaps into a cosmic fantasy and her playful use of color and form. Whimsical and feminine, Tsumori, like fashion is both elusive and extravagant. Tsumori epitomizes the nature of fashion by taking advantage of its vulnerability. She plays hard and pushes the envelope to the max. For fashion is often more fleeting than an encounter of lust; entering like a gust of wind blowing away everything in sight. Only time will tell of its true power and ability to outlast trends and crazes. One can never truly pin fashion down, for as soon as we begin to understand its language, the next season is upon us.

Tsumori Chisato welcomes the Fall 2008 season with memories of a space odyssey. Imaginative day dreams, childhood drawings of the outer world, glow-in-the-dark stars and puffy space suit-like shapes appropriated from a Neil Armstrong fashion archive sneak into Fall’s inspirational creativity. Her planetary designs appear here in her Fall collection, awaking the senses and the realization that we are not fully alone in our bubble world. Tsumori’s collection reminds us of the infinite extent of our creative possibilities and the reality that sometimes traveling outside the boundaries of our own home actually takes us closer to who we are.

She begins her collection by experimenting with simple geometrical shapes, layering velvet and metallic circle, square and triangle forms upon dresses and tops. She plays with a new version of the flutter and dolman sleeve by developing one that looks like a tulip petal while covering like a cocoon but allowing for full arm movement. Caplets and swing coats follow this lead along with a beautiful gray ombre wool over coat. Roughly ninety five percent of her fall collection is short dresses, styled with opaque and ombre stockings and ankle socks circa 1960. Scalloped necklines, ruffled sleeves and petal layered skirts continue to pull us into the clouds of Tsumori’s whimsical fantasy where delicate layering is the master of her space travel vessel.

These 1960’s inspired silhouettes and shapes are approachable through Tsumori’s choice of color. Shades of sherbert orange, soft pink, beige, light gray, and cobalt blue dominate the palette. Well known for her use of artistic hand drawn patters and designs Tsumori then produces them onto fabric creating one-of-a-kind unique prints. Her customer following is widely based on this nonpareil and individual style that yields coveted runway and ready-to-wear pieces for her audience. Any savvy fashion collector knows that an investment in Tsumori Chisato will prove to not only fulfill your fashion fantasy needs but will remain a coveted item on into the next frontier.

Newbie Crochet … No REALLY!?

I point at least several years. She never learned to read patterns, but my cousin to learn a and teach me. I like some tips on how to read patterns. I crochet charts only single or double and grandmother. My daughter, who will be 10 soon also wants to learn so it will be a good time for us to learn together (I think) Please help. SUPER looking patterns difficult to follow and I get discouraged when even open a book. I bought boy crochet books for my daughter and would like to start on a project. Myself, I like to make a blanket …….. scalloped edges. Thanks in advance for any and all help:) I'm happy to be a member and hope to find some support here.

I think it's wonderful that you are returning to the world of crochet and that you are doing with your daughter. As part of a mother and daughter duo weave myself, I know you will have fun selecting patterns, hooks, and wires to try as increasing their ability levels. My daughter has been weaving since the age of 5 (I'll put a link to your website below) Are you good at reading crochet patterns, I just do not know it yet. It comes with practice and since you already know two of the three crochet stitches (single and double crochet – just missing half-duplex), you are well on your way! The patterns are like road maps – which will tell you when and where to place the stitches. The key is to find out what all those abbreviations mean! History tells us that once upon a time, printing was very expensive. First, the paper is once clothes (at the time there was an option of using clothing or the role – as both were necessary evil that adopted it for use as a very difficult role!) and printing machines based on someone aligning individual letters – Something that could take weeks to make a single page! This was very expensive and so were the real motives crochet patterns point, and turned in the books of fabric for consultations later. Once the discovery of how to make paper from wood pulp, along with the best invention of printing, became, crochet patterns began appear in many types of publication. (First I have is from the early 1850s) but cost, as it is today, it remained an important factor. To reduce production costs rose with abbreviations to save space on the printed page. Since there are two styles of crochet – European vs. American – I recommend using the supplied key in the publication that holds your employer. No matter which version to use, I always advise my students to write the pattern crochet on the long side. So that if the pattern should read: Row 1: Ch 1, Sc in first and c ea wide. (32 pts) would read in long hand: a chain, low in the first place and in every thing through. When you count must be 32 points. … and you do this for each row. About the fifth or sixth standard of writing in long hand you realize that you absorbed much of the jargon and now you can stop the long hand method. If your employer does not come with a key, then please do not hesitate to use my page website here for reference: http://members.aol.com/crochetwithdee/rules.html As I said, you are good at reading patterns, we simply do not know yet. Do not let Abbreviations fool you – take the plunge and give it a try! You and your daughter will enjoy reading crochet patterns together in no time! ~ Dee Stanziano Cyca Certified Crochet Teacher / designer of the Mother of Casey, a multi-blue ribbon winning crocheted (www.CaseysCrochet.com)
