Mascha Mioni in the Bachelor thesis of Caroline Ho Ka Hei
Caroline Ho Ka Hei writes in her thesis for the Bachelor of Arts at the Institute of Textiles & Clothing of Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
p. 31/32:
"In this section, six textiles designers who are renowned for their heat-setting technique applications were studied: Ana Lisa Hedstrom, Barbara Rogers, Jean Williams Cacicedo, Jun'ichi Arai, Mascha Mioni and Tsuyoshi Kuno.
...
the reason of these six designers being studied in this project was due to their profound contribution to the development of heat-setting technique. Their exquisite art pieces raised my interest in heat-setting and thus set off this study.
p. 43-47:
"2.6.5 Mascha Mioni
Growing up in Switzerland, Mascha Mioni is a painter whose oil paintings on canvas were exhibited all over Europe. Later in 1986, as she studied dress-making, she started to develop silk paintings and design silk dresses. Her artistic dresses were shown in different places in the world, including Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and United States. Together with six other textile artists, Mioni published a series of three books “Art To Wear” from 1990 to 2005.
Fig. 2.6.5(1a) to Fig. 2.6.5(3c) show the dresses by Mioni in the exhibition “Transformation: Material˙ Magic˙ Memory”. From Fig. 2.6.5(4) to Fig. 2.6.5(7c) are some other works of Mioni.
