The fitting: notes on proportion
Three fittings, one coat. What we change between toile and final cloth.
A fitting is an argument between the drawing and the body. The drawing always loses, and that is the point.
On the Ceinture coat we moved the belt eleven millimetres between the second and third fitting. Nobody will ever measure it. Everybody will feel it.
We keep every toile. They hang in the back of the atelier like sentences we decided not to publish.
