I’d been looking for interesting design process using digital tool, since I corroborated with Butoh dancer Mary. And I started draw patterns by MAC. it was around 2006,7.

basically, pattern and its shape is just simply A graphic figure. It doesn’t matter if u use some scrawls for pattern making at least the shape is closed line. And it can be drawn by PC using illustrator or photoshop, whatever.

I just wanted to make every step to create garments SIMPLE and SMART.

using rulers, drawing patterns many times, sketches, swatches, every tiny pieces were keep piling up while I’m designing. It make me so stressful and didn’t think it is right way to create NEW ASPECT of fashion.

so,,,,finally i shortcut some naughty steps even making toile many times.

this is my first 3DCG digital fashion show. Motion of germets is really similar with real one. Coz they calculate automatically how the each pattern move with body action. this technique is called cloth simuration.

we ,Etw.Vonneguet, try not to use papers so much. this is a kind of policy.
And drawing patterns, draping garments not on the stand but by PC application is so exciting design process for me.

We have very smart digital tool it has possibility to create new idea and deign. I believe this tiny tiny idea and new direction of fashion will achieve something special in the future.
