Context: • Rottura dei canoni: si comincia a lavorare la pelliccia come un tessuto, una materia duttile sulla quale si può giocare, sperimentare.

Si era portato dietro questa tecnica pura ma che con le nuove idee ha consentito di rompere i canoni). (slide 3 e 4)

defying every law [of fashion]
... or 'defying the laws of fashion'
A formulation like this might work. I like it because it reminds me of 'defying the laws of physics' or 'the law of gravity'.
