Article by Assistant Professor Ayşe Gamze Öngen, Istanbul
Ayşe Gamze Öngen, assistant professor at the University of Nişantaşı/Istanbul, writes in her 2016 article "Today's perception of wearable art in the light of traditional textile techniques" about Mascha Mioni:
"...the creative details of the works created in this artistic perception also influence the clothing designers and thus the clothing fashion. E.g. suggest Miyake's "Mutant Pleats" (images 5, 6) or Tim Harding's "Koi Kimono" (image 7 ), Mascha Mioni's "Dragon Shibori" and recently Sandra Backlund's "Body Skin and Hair", "Perfect Pain" (Fig.8) Pleats in next season's fashion design trends.
...
Clothing styles interpreted in terms of “wearable art” become artistic creations in a form approaching sculpture and are shaped in a way that can be viewed and understood as works of art while retaining their wearable qualities. Textile artists, who are now free to produce their works, are now attracting the attention of clothing designers with the “wearable art” movement, with their original surface arrangements that they have created with different concepts in traditional production techniques. Together with these designers, they began to create clothing collections that became works of art. Today's artists who produce works with this art movement; Jorie Johnson (Image.9), Tim Harding, Mascha Mioni, Galya Rosenfeld (Image.10), Sandra Backlund, Belkıs Balpınar, Sühandan Özay (Image.11), Fırat Neziroğlu, Selçuk Gürışık, ..."
