Bringing the Very First Garment to Life

From design to sewing, a couturier is responsible for every step in the garment-making process. Meet Toshio Morita, a certified couturier who has devoted his thirty-year career to making clothing samples. In the fashion industry, samples are generally produced by mass-production factories, but Morita's company specializes in the making of this "very first garment". Why does he focus solely on samples? After sharpening his sewing skills as a young man in London, Morita says he discovered the joy – among the challenges - of "giving life" to a design that exists only on paper. Learn what the 70-year-old Morita is up to as he continues to break new ground in the world of sample-making.
