Designers is the profile archive of AWH Magazine: reported pieces made from studio visits, interviews and the collaborators who work alongside a designer. Subjects range from first collections to houses changing hands. Useful for readers who want to know how a garment was arrived at, not only who signed it.
Reported profiles of designers at every stage, from graduate collections to houses under new direction, built out of studio time rather than press notes.
A basque couturier who opened his Paris house in 1937 built clothes the way engineers build bridges, and when he closed it in 1968 he ended the most rigorous couture of the century.
