The origins of conceptual fashion can be credited to Japanese designers Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, and Issey Miyake who produced intriguing and provocative collections through new cutting and construction techniques. While conceptual fashion can be beautiful and timeless, it also risks being too abstract or lacking a clear identity. Designers like Hussein Chalayan and Helmut Lang are known for a minimalist aesthetic influenced by architecture. Yves Saint Laurent also incorporated historical styles from the 1920s-1940s into 1970s fashion, influenced by period films and fashion exhibitions. The student discusses creating a dress inspired by a Yves Saint Laurent jellaba dress for their collection.

2. The origins of contemporary ,conceptual fashion may well be credited to the
Japanese designer rei Kawakubo , yohji yamamoto and issey miyake .
For decades , these designers have been producing the most intriguing
,provocative fashion by creating new ways of cutting and construction.
Conceptual collections are often beautiful ,timeless and dislocated from
most visual narratives . However , they can also be too challenging , abstract
or unrelenting in identity , diminishing their influences on fashion trends .
Designers Hussein chalayan, helmut jil sander are all know for a minimalist,
exacting aesthetic, which owes much to the rigors and precision of
innovation architecture are reductive product design .
There is usually little or no decoration to obscure the essence of the
proportions’core components and construction.

Laura Ashley, Ralph Lauren, Punk, And New Wave Fashions All Shared Elements Of Nostalgia, But Clearly The Motivations
Behind Their Use Of The Past Were Very Different. Differences Between Authentic Secondhand Clothes And The
Contemporary Designs Based On Classic Lines From The 1930s And 1940s, Using Tweeds, Crepes, Gabardines And Gauzier
