Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion (Required Reading Range) - Softcover

Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion does not intend to rewrite previous pattern cutting books which have successfully documented traditional methods of flat pattern cutting and draping. Instead, it aims to select a variety of pattern cutting scenarios experienced in studio fashion teaching and learning, and communicate techniques and processes with clear visual instruction, fashion imagery and text. It aims to underpin this practical subject within a historical and theoretical context. Most of all, it aims to inspire and combine pattern, design and aesthetics, and for readers to gain confidence to explore a subject that can be considered difficult and too methodical to be interesting.
