Book synopsis

Pattern cutting, or patternmaking, represents a core need-to-know skill for every fashion designer but mastery of this complex part of the design process can prove tricky. Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion is designed to demystify the process and clearly demonstrates the pattern fundamentals, enabling readers to easily construct in both 2D and 3D, and quickly get to grips with basic blocks, shape, sleeves, collars, circles, and trousers. In Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion, Pat Parish approaches the subject of patternmaking through an exploration of proportion, balance, line and form, identifying key shapes and structures from the catwalk and translating them into 3D through a number of cutting, draping and construction processes. This innovative approach provides readers with the inspiration, tools and confidence to both interpret and adapt basic patterns and so take their designs to the next level.Now fully revised, this popular and inspirational sourcebook for young designers has been completely updated to reflect new directions in construction design and techniques, with a renewed emphasis on the impact of sustainability on construction. Beautifully illustrated with refreshed contemporary pattern flats and inspiring full-colour images from the catwalk, this second edition includes simple step-by-step instructions, invaluable information about working with a range of fabric types, including techno fabrics like spacer and neoprene, and more pattern instructions for sustainable designs. Insightful case studies with designers who have used cutting techniques to create unique, contemporary designs show pattern cutting in practice. Complete with handy tips, short cuts and tricks of the trade, Pattern Cutting is a must-have studio resource for all budding fashion designers.
