MANUS x MACHINA

Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology is a visually striking and thought-provoking exploration of the evolving relationship between handcraft (manus) and machine-made (machina) fashion. Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in conjunction with its celebrated 2016 Costume Institute exhibition, the book unfolds like a futuristic tapestry - merging haute couture with cutting-edge innovation. It showcases garments that blur the line between the artisan's touch and the precision of modern technology, from laser-cut lace to 3D-printed gowns. Featuring work from legendary designers like Chanel, Dior and Iris van Herpen, this book is both a love letter to craftsmanship and a bold vision of fashion's future.
