VAUTRAIT SS2024: refresh & indulge

‘The garment is a holding the body. To be sure, this holder requires a producing.

But the production by the tailor by no means constitutes what is proper to the garment insofar as it is a garment.

The garment is not a garment because it was produced, rather the thing must be produced because it is this garment.

The producing lets the garment freely enter into its own. Yet the essence of the garment’s own is never completed by a producing.

Let loose through its completion, the garment gathers itself in what is its own so as to hold.

In the process of production, however, the garment must show its outward appearance to the producer beforehand.

What would a garment be if it has a hole or an incorrect pattern?

At the very least a failed garment; and therefore, always still a garment.’
