Deconstructing

• Deconstructing is the dismantling of clothes to strip away the aesthetic illusion associated with them.
• It reveals the forms of construction behind the garment.
• It began in the '70s where street style and grunge became popular.

Zandra Rhodes became a popular designer who used deconstructing the '70s. The pieces above were part of her collection in 1977. She ripped apart the fabric then held it together with safety pins.
