Patchwork is part of a long tradition. Leftover pieces of cloth were sewn on top of a hole or sign of usage, or used to imitate costly embroidery. During the nineteenth century, patchwork was a passtime for some women and an economical way to make beautifully decorated textiles for others. At the start of the last decade, designers such as Branquinho, Bikkembergs and Willhelm presented mosaic patchwork on the runway.
For the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, MoMu and Mercedes-Benz invited Belgian art director Frederik Heyman and four fashion designers to create four installations with Mercedes-Benz young classics. Bernhard Willhelm, Henrik Vibskov, Peter Pilotto, Mikio Sakabe and Frederik Heyman discuss the project in four short films.
