For her recent AW12/13 collection, Arena Page, a student at the London College of Fashion, merges the beauty of math and geometry into a tailored and sculptural collection.
You just need to take a look at the novel patterns to appreciate the “complex simplicity.” Using 3D modeling software, Ms. Page creates a digital 3D rendering which is “flattened” into a 2D pattern. This pattern is used to create her final garments. The design process, which moves from a 2D sketch to a digital 3D model to a 2D pattern and back again to 3D form, allows Ms. Page to create beautifully complex garments from very few patterns pieces.
Her creative pattern making techniques are truly inspirational. I’m looking forward to seeing future collections.
