FLATNESS FOLDED a collection of 23 contemporary chinese garments

本書記錄的23件作品，都是香港設計師，以平面剪裁模式作為想像平台，通過對中國傳統服飾工藝和文化感性的認知，結合現代生活形態設計的。從中，可一瞥中國傳統服平整摺疊的特定視覺特徵和風格。

Clothes are made for the human body. Flatness Folded explores traditional Chinese clothing and Western tailoring, offering a glimpse of a particular set of visual characteristics and styles of Chinese fashion.

'Flat and fold' is a Chinese clothing concept. The 23 innovative garments in this volume transform this traditional concept: the fashion makers - all in Hong Kong - have reinterpreted and delicately adapted this and other ancient Chinese clothes-making ideas and forms into a new expression for modern living.

Flatness Folded is noteworthy documentation of flat-tailored garment construction, with texts, drawings and photos.
