Nuno (meaning "functional fabric" in Japanese) integrates the techniques, materials and aesthetics of traditional Japanese textiles with cutting-edge technologies in order to create some of the world's most innovative and influential fabrics. On display as part of this exhibit are 18 examples from the Nuno studio, dating from the time of the company's founding in 1984 to the present day. The fabrics will be hung in galleries adjacent to the showing of 'Contemporary Japanese Fashion: The Collection of Mary Baskett,' inviting visitors to experience the design process from start to finish - from structure to style.
