Summary

All fashion designers face the same challenges: finding new structures, making fabrics hang well, or adopting techniques from other creative disciplines and applying them to their collections. This practical and inspiring book of folding techniques provides a detailed examination of the world of fashion folding, from paper to fabric.

Clear explanations of how to implement different types of folds, following well-known techniques like draping or Japanese origami, are accessibly laid out and supported by visuals. Alongside advice on the materials required and helpful fabric recommendations, the 23 varied types of fold included in the book are developed step-by-step and described in-depth, with drawings and photographs illustrating the different stages of the development process.

With a clean and contemporary feel to mirror the stylish designs it demonstrates, as well as easy to follow patterns, Folds in Fashion appeals to students, designers and makers alike.
