Issey Miyake introduced his APOC, or "A Piece of Cloth," apparel concept in 1997. Designed to highlight the two dimensional quality of cloth and to minimize waste, APOC garments were produced in machine made rolls of knit fabric pre-sewn or fused with finished patterns. The user cut the pattern from the roll to create a ready-made, customized garment. The modular APOC line allowed the user to determine the specifications and the components of their wardrobe. This dark blue example is an uncut length from a larger roll.
