L'art des drapés

Fashion Draping methods ad techniques. Thanks to Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen's experience as a renowned pattern-drafter, this book tackles the difficult technique of the draped clothing in the Western culture of fashion. Transparency games and fabrics moving over the body play key roles in this subtle exercise. Draping transforms a garment into a work of art and makes pattern drafting noble through cutting techniques, choices of prestigious fabrics and dexterous manipulations.
This exercise in style has always been preferred and used by the top names in fashion. ABOUT THE AUTHORIn this book, Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen introduced his ground-breaking universe through his technique and his personal creation of the six kinds of draping techniques which associate fluidity and graphics, just like the great figures who preceded him. A true invitation to travel can be found, since he reveals that creativity inspired by Art is out of time and space, and that it breaks free from identity, stigmatizing labels and appearances.
