The Economics and Creativity of the Second-Hand Dress
<p>This (bilingual) conversation with clothing designer Liliam Dooley has for object her most recent work, <em>Project X</em> (see below) for which she cut two distinct second-hand dresses and assembled them together to produce a third one. The particularity of this project is to voluntarily function with low costs of production in order to address a broader social audience than unique clothing usually does. Creativity and economic justice are therefore involved by a designer who has for aim to disappear. These clothing are the meeting point of three designers (the two original ones and Liliam), but also three bodies who influence the cloth in their uniqueness. Thank you to Gean Moreno for simultaneously translating this conversation.</p>
