Fashion Patternmaking Techniques – Haute couture [Vol 1]

High fashion goes unquestionably hand-in-hand with sartorial and stylistic perfection; it evokes enchantment, fairy tales, and wishes coming true. It is creative freedom and a chance for free artistic expression, far from the usual rules of the market. High fashion is the driving force behind the entire fashion and garment industry; it is the search for and study of the solutions involved, be they fabrics or styles and patterns. In this context, the patternmaker is an essential figure who brings the stylist’s ideas to reality, and gives the garment a specific shape in the correct measurements and proportions, ensuring the right fit and outline, studying the smallest cuts and stitches, always bearing budgets in mind.
