Hendrik Johannes Cruijff OON (Dutch: [ˈjoːɦɑn ˈkrœyf] (listen), internationally spelled Cruyff; 25 April 1947 – 24 March 2016) was a Dutch professional football player


and coach. As a player, he won the Ballon d'Or three times, in 1971, 1973, and 1974. Cruyff was a proponent of the football philosophy known as Total Football explored by Rinus Michels, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most prolific players in the history of the sport.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dutch football rose from a semi-professional and obscure level to become a powerhouse in the sport. Cruyff led the Netherlands to the final of the 1974 FIFA World Cup and received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament. At the 1974 finals, he executed a feint that subsequently was named after him, the "Cruyff Turn", a move widely replicated in the modern game. Wearing the number 14 jersey, he set a trend for wearing shirt numbers outside the usual starting line-up numbers of one to eleven. After finishing third in UEFA Euro 1976, Cruyff refused to play in the 1978 World Cup after a kidnapping attempt targeting him and his family in their Barcelona home dissuaded him from football . At club level, Cruyff started his career at Ajax, where he won eight Eredivisie titles, three European Cups, and one Intercontinental Cup. In 1973, he moved to Barcelona for a world record transfer fee, helping the team win La Liga in his first season, and was named European Footballer of the Year. After retiring from playing in 1984, Cruyff became highly successful as manager of Ajax and later Barcelona; he remained an influential advisor to both clubs after his coaching tenures. His son Jordi also played football professionally.

In 1999, Cruyff was voted European Player of the Century in an election held by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, and came second behind Pelé in their World Player of the Century poll. He came third in a vote organised by the French magazine France Football consulting their former Ballon d'Or winners to elect their Football Player of the Century. He was included in the World Team of the 20th Centuryin 1998, the FIFA World Cup Dream Team in 2002, and in 2004 was named in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players.

Considered to be one of the most influential figures in football history, Cruyff's style of play and football philosophy has influenced managers and players alike. Ajax and Barcelona are among the clubs that have developed youth academies based on Cruyff's coaching methods. His coaching philosophy helped lay the foundations for the revival of Ajax's international successes in the 1990s, and Spanish football's successes at both club and international levels during the years 2008 to 2012 have been cited as evidence of Cruyff's impact on contemporary football.

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024 Over time, the practice of patterning evolved to encompass a hierarchical approach, serving as a fundamental template for the creation of garments. Initially, patterning was primarily geared towards the production of utilitarian attire for ordinary households, while those with considerable means leveraged it to imbue their personal style with opulence. With the continuous advancements in technology and the availability of resources, the commercial aspects of patterning have substantially streamlined, relegating its artisanal aspects to relative obscurity. In this transformation, the discerning eye of fashion consumers shifted away from appreciating craftsmanship, gravitating more towards the innovative and artistic direction set by brands. Patterns serve as crucial visual representations, illustrating the precise construction methods for various items. The responsibility of the pattern drafter lies in ensuring that these drawings are not only comprehensible but also faithfully represent the pertinent information, a task demanding a combination of technical expertise and creative acumen. Patterning is a complex process that unfolds on a two-dimensional canvas, comprising a network of lines and curves, meticulously guiding the transformation of these flat templates into intricate three-dimensional garments. This architectural approach to fashion design is pivotal in ensuring that garments conform seamlessly to the wearer’s physique. Patterning, in itself, is a highly skilled art, demanding a mastery of technical expertise.The journey from a rudimentary sketch to the final realization of a garment follows a well-defined pipeline. The initial concept takes shape through a preliminary sketch, eventually evolving into a meticulously drafted pattern. Throughout this intricate journey, there exists a captivating interplay of abstraction. While one can envision the design taking form, the garment remains, as yet, an unrealized vision. The transition from conceptual design to the drafting phase significantly influences how the final garment will manifest. Creative patterning is the position that allows a design to achieve its highest potential. It deftly weaves together the realms of abstraction and tangible design, navigating the fine line between what appears to be present and what is yet to be materialized. In this process, the alphanumeric pattern paper serves as both a void and a blueprint—a blank canvas awaiting the design’s manifestation. Detaching a vital element of a garment and leaving it bare. The garments emerge from this abstract void, seamlessly adorning the body. This progression encapsulates the stages a design undergoes, bypassing the final product stage. It underscores the absence of incompleteness in the initial collection, underscoring the indispensable and symbiotic relationship between the designer and the pattern maker. Romanticizing with the concept of abstraction and what is tangible by hypothesizing, until it is bestowed upon us.
