Hori, a great dancer whose flat we hung out in, in Tateishi does all sorts of beautiful works using clothing and materials. He has been collecting his socks for many years now, old ones that are beyond repair, and cuts them and overlocks the edges. He plans to make a futon cover with the end result. I thought they were the best use of old socks I'd ever seen. I believe he has a pair by comme des garcons, his favourite designer...
Never have i seen someone do something so creative with old socks. Ours get put into the bag of rags for Haico to cover in grease when he is working on the bicycles- Although I am not sure I could bare to do that with a pair of Comme des garcons.
