Draping
As a foundational pillar in haute couture, Draping initiated a profound transformation in the fashion design and garment creation worlds, practiced since antiquity. It single-handedly democratized organic, three-dimensional design by migrating the craft from rigid, flat-pattern drafting and calculations to working creatively and intuitively with fabric on a dress form. This pivotal shift dismantled previous barriers of flat, two-dimensional thinking, placing powerful, form-fitting and fluid design tools into the hands of countless couturiers and designers globally.
