FASHION IS THE CENTURY
Look at fashion and trends of the 20th century
February 5 to May 29, 2011
Musée du costume et du textile du Québec (MCTQ)
349, rue Riverside
Saint-Lambert, Québec
Fashion is a paradox that oscillates between the individual and the ephemeral, between consumption and art. The 20th century has been one of excess and upheaval, whether in science, technology, politics, art and of course fashion. In this sense, never a time will not be demarcated as compared to previous centuries.
Fashion is the century invites you to discover or rediscover the major trends that have shaped women's fashion of each decade. These are more than 75 objects from the collections of the museum that will decline the words: fashion, clothing, dress, hat, shoes, trend, beauty and desire.

Loom: Dataweave jacquard
Technique: triple,double and single layer cloth
Materials: Warp: Silk organzine. Weft: Paper, copper wire, elastemeric.
Dimensions: Width: 104cm. Height: 215cm
The work is based on exploring the potential for a self folded fabric to work with a diagonal design, developed from a self generated tessellation folding idea, which combined with the authors own yarn and weave structure interaction, self folded into a 3D structure as it came off the loom. The piece also continued to self fold more through humidity in the atmosphere.. You can read more about Phillipa Brock's work at the Textiles Future Research Centre Loom: Dataweave jacquard
