Abstract Pattern Cutting as a Design Tool: Accidental Cutting and Subtraction Cutting Methodologies, pp (99-110), The Routledge Companion to Fashion Studies.

Accidental Cutting and Subtraction Cutting whose authors are Eva Iszoro and Julian Roberts respectively, are two examples of experimental design and pattern cutting methodologies which apply modes of abstraction. Therefore, the analysis of differences and similarities between both methods will be carried out, taking into account the different approaches, definitions and meanings of the concepts presented, which play a fundamental role in both methodological approaches.This publication employs a scientific approach to explore pattern cutting from an abstract perspective. It examines the differences and similarities between two experimental patterning methods: Accidental Cutting by Eva Iszoro and Subtraction Cutting by Julian Roberts.engSubtraction CuttingJulian RobertsAccidental CuttingEva IszoroExperimental Pattern Cuttinginfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart10.4324/9780429264405info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess
