Fashioning the Object invites readers to visit three of the most visionary design studios at work today: Bless, Boudicca, and Sandra Backlund. Fiercely independent and far-reaching in their influences, these young designers from Berlin, London, Paris, and Stockholm are producing fashion objects that straddle the line between traditional craft and cutting-edge technique, both in their use of materials and in the promotion of their brands.

Zoë Ryan establishes the context for understanding the exciting departures these design houses represent, as the young creators draw inspiration from an array of other disciplines, including architecture, performance, film, and fine art. From Blesss numbered editions, to Boudiccas graffiti-can perfume, to Backlunds ready-to-wear sculptural knitted pieces, these designers adapt storied objects to new uses and break old conventions, promulgating their ideas in playful, groundbreaking ways.
