Craft refers precisely to the human touch. People put the work of their hands towards making a product. This is a free territory of cultural expression where there is room to experiment and make mistakes. It is also the space for innovation. Together with design, craft creates a continuum between high and low tech, traditional and industrial, north and south and even south to south.
“Looking like you spent a lot of money now just seems hopelessly insensitive and as if the person wearing it has no idea what is going on in the world. The whole concept of cutting-edge fashion is that you are in tune to, even ahead of what is going on in society.” David Wolfe, Creative Director of the Doneger Group.
