Construction and garment contruction






Fashion design relates to architecture and the pieces in this book are definitely architectural and pushes our concepts of what clothing can look like, architecture is also coming through in my trend.




I’ve been looking at pattern cutting lately as I want the focus to be on the beautiful pattern cutting of my garments, these books are really inspiring "pattern magic"by Tomoko Nakamichi.They have clear shots of the finished garments and a section of detailed and illustrated instructions. The designs are complex and sculputral. Looking at the photos, it’s sometimes difficult to imagine how a piece of two dimensional fabric was used to create such three dimensional sculpture.
