Or at least I haven&#39;t yet! More detail about the mantle can be found on the V&amp;A website at <a href="http://images.vam.ac.uk/indexplus/result.html?_IXFIRST_=1&amp;_IXACTION_=query&amp;_IXMAXHITS_=1&amp;_IXSR_=m7A_v3V6rmv&amp;_IXSPFX_=templates/large_p&amp;_IXFPFX_=templates/large_p">this link</a>. And the Metropolitan Museum of Art offers more background about Poiret <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId=%7B0DC3D00F-4611-4F91-8DC2-CC3C1A5C48D5%7D">here</a> and <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Poiret/king_of_fashion_gallerytexts.asp">here</a>. (The Met has included some fascinating video animations showing how Poiret manipulated linear fabric into incredible draped and spiralled designs on the mannequins themselves, eschewing the traditional method of shaping garments from cut pattern pieces.) <br /><br />Issey Miyake springs to mind as a contemporary manifestation of the technique.
