Here, a model wears the same half muslin as an Elliptical Skirt. Charles James used his elliptical-shaped carapace to transfrom the Lee Krasner Skirt into a jacket and a cape. Charles James never finished these designs. These drawings by Antonio Lopez illustrate Charles James’ idea that a perfect shape can fit different areas of the body. Extensions like sleeves and collars are added as design elements to this basic shape.

Blindtext: the meter," Duchamp glibly noted about this piece, but hispremise for it reads like a theorem: "If a straight horizontal thread one meter longfalls from a height of one meter onto a horizontal plane twisting as it pleases [it] creates a new image of the unit of length." Duchamp dropped three threads one meter long from the height of one meter onto three stretched can- vases. The threads were then adhered to the canvases to preserve the random curves they assumed upon landing.

This is a skirt muslin from a dress made for Lee Krasner in the early 1960s to wear to her husband’s (Jackson Pollack) exhibition at the Tate Gallery
in London. The following drawings by Antonio Lopez are of a further develop- ment of the skirt shape above. The idea for this “elliptical development” came from the back side with its arched seam. Charles James continued the arched seam to the side hemline,resul- ting in the seaming and shape of the muslins pictured on the mode.
