Flat to Form

My project explores how flat pattern pieces transform into three-dimensional garments, focusing on the relationship between 2D and 3D forms. Inspired by Issey Miyake’s structural approach, I investigate how folding, unfolding and wearing can continuously reshape clothing. Through experiments with paper, fabric and surface treatments, I translate flat structures into wearable forms while exploring material transformation. Research into Cubism and my experience of Glasgow’s harsh weather led me to create collages from everyday photographs, extracting flat silhouettes that developed into draped volumes.
