SCRAP

This is one of my most exciting projects so far, titled 'Scrap'. I studied under Susan Dimasi of bespoke label MaterialbyProduct / www.materialbyproduct.com /, focusing on creating a unique minimal waste system that produces garments that embodies unique aesthetic qualities. My system 'Cut and Paste' reinvents classic garment types, typically shirts, and elements, typically collars and pockets, by using a pattern-making system I developed based on the subtractive cutting technique. For example, cutting jets from the body panel to make jet pockets, the jet pockets are functional and the jet cut-outs become decorative. In a nutshell, the system is 'to cut what the garment needs from the garment itself'. What I love about this collection is that there is minimal pen to paper design. All the garments come straight from the technique itself, you don't know the result until it is made! :)
