Top Prize

At this week's PV Preview, held on August 19th and 20th at Pier 94 in NYC, the work of Grand Prize winner Wataru Tominaga was on display. 

Beautifully crafted, his textile-focused work, compared to Issey Miyake by one of the judges, features flocked strips of film-like material (some of which are printed) on top of ditsy-floral printed cottons. 

The flocked strips, which naturally crack when applied, give the pieces not only a dose of pop color and plastic-like texture, but help create a naturally voluminous silhouette as well.

Loom1801 congratulates your impressive and whimsical work Wataru! You are certainly one to watch! Here, some of his beautiful pieces.
