& Pieces are Added–For his fourth collection, Kevin Azzopardi examines creative control. In a world that seems built on outsourcing and globalization, Azzopardi implements tactics in his spring 2012 collection, composed of two toned trousers, scarves, jumpers and draped tops that allow him more input on the end product of the pieces. During the factory production of the garments, Azzopardi halted the factories and asked them to send the pieces back to him. After receiving tops with unjoined shoulders, trousers in two parts and jackets in fragments, he bonded all of the pieces himself, retaining control of the final step in the production process.
