About the Book

The pattern cutter's aesthetic judgement of proportion, balance, line and form has always underpinned success in fashion design. In Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion, Pat Parish approaches the subject from this perspective, identifying key shapes and structures from the catwalk and translating them into 3D through a number of cutting, draping and construction processes. These methods are explored here through a series of practical scenarios, richly illustrated and annotated with step-by-step instructions. This exciting new approach provides you with the inspiration, tools and confidence to interpret and adapt basic patterns and take your designs even further.

Review :
A fresh and innovative resource, which provides an exciting selection of contemporary patterns and a solid foundation for pattern drafting/cutting. Debbie Allsop, University of Huddersfield, UK An important bookshelf addition... particularly for students in self-directed study wishing to advance their pattern cutting knowledge. Janet Robinson, K College, UK Excellent, easy to follow, introduces new styles and techniques, achievable exercises, eye-catching layout, modern on-trend shapes. -- Jayne Littlehales, Stafford College, UK Great title! There are many pattern cutting books on the market, but what sets this book apart is the historical commentary. Another distinguishing feature is the chapter on silhouette and shape in design. Both of these areas are rarely covered in other books. Well presented and easy to read lay out... Overall I feel this book will be a great addition to any fashion students reading list as it touches on areas that others have not! -- Megan McGuire, London College of Fashion, UK Practical and informative starting point for developing key silhouette shapes for further exploration. Inspiring, easy to understand with a contemporary feel. -- Krystyna Kolowska, Nottingham Trent University, UK Innovative and comprehensive pattern cutting book for both beginner and advanced level. This book interpreted well in aesthetic 3D technology in fashion! Fashion students and professionals should have one! -- Mio Jin, Huddersfield University, UK This book is perfect for intermediate course of pattern and construction. Creatively, simply and clearly presents different transformations, basic tools, body measurements, fitting. The case studies are interesting and helpful. The illustrations and visual quality are incredible. -- Joseve Munoz Islas, Universidad Anahuac, Mexico
