In other words, the slash and burn manager is unscrupulous.
Alright, let’s read a few media examples to examine “slash and burn” further in context:
1. Cream linen jackets were embroidered with rows of cedar-wood beads. Half-kilts dangled under lopsided vests. Silver coins and golden bells tinkled on the hems of bloomers.
Black dresses, deliberately unfinished, trailed red threads and multi-coloured ribbons. Black coats were made up of hundreds of one-inch square, patchwork pieces, stitched by hand.
Rock’n’roll-style, skinny-leg jeans, originally sewn in conventional fashion, had been painstakingly ripped to shreds, leaving the raw, torn edges to create striped, frayed mayhem.
As a finale, Takahashi’s models appeared as Bedouin tribeswomen in jewel-coloured, hand-painted burqas trimmed with coins and bells and featuring gilt, latticed eye-masks.
Takahashi is a cult figure in Japan, where acolytes often queue for hours at his boutique in the fashionable Shibuya-ku district, to buy limited edition pieces.
His Paris debut is being championed by the influential Japanese designer, Rei Kawakubu, of Comme des Garcons.
Previously, Kawakubu helped to launch the Paris career of another young Japanese, Junya Watanabe, who presents his spring-summer collection here today.
A small figure in tattered jeans and an old T-shirt printed with the word “wretched”, Takahashi embodies his “slash and burn style”.
