Pleiades

Ionic columns in Pershing Hall – Paris reminded me of a Greek temple


Like the future stars of the Pleiades, growing like new plants from the earth, swaying in the wind of ancient mythology

By Fukuko Ando

In front of the mirror, I work with the wooden mannequin on which I directly sculpt the dress form by the fabric. The dress has 360 degrees awareness.

Ando’s work is based on a simple proposition : ” Each person has a body.
The body expresses a person’s story and history, the dress is a language the expresses that body , the human body and the dress are both founded on the same principle: constant, unbroken perception “
