A-POC which stands for "A Piece of Cloth", is a project and journey pioneered by Issey Miyake and fabric engineer Dai Fujiwara through the Miyake Design Studio (MDS) which first started out in the year 2000. A-POC is based on the possibility of producing endless length of new fabric with previously unknown properties with the help of computer-programmed machines. Patterns can be worked into the textile, and a sophisticated system of links and holes between the two sides of the tube allows the user to cut out seamless clothing from the fabric in different variations. The computer can be used to define characteristics at different points of the fabric, and some of the fabrics can be cut at any point. With these and other possibilities, A-POC has been able to free itself from the limitations of conventional tailoring, which were previously dictated by the properties of fabric, pattern and sewing technique. Instead of the strict matrix of warp and weft that must be sewn in the shape of the human body, a seamless continuum emerges which comes closer the the human form than ever before. These pants are a 1/1 sample executed in mustard yellow and are for the true textile connoisseur. Ny 60% / Co 36% / Pu 4%
