Pattern cutting is used as a creative tool to investigate shape, proportion and the relationship between two- and three-dimensional form. Through experimentation and manipulation, ideas are translated into unexpected silhouettes and wearable forms.

Material and making are central to the development of the work. Through quilting, textile manipulation, construction and material experimentation, the studio explores how physical qualities can influence form, function and experience.

Research draws on art, fashion, culture, heritage, architecture and material history. Visual and contextual references become starting points for experimentation, allowing ideas to evolve through observation, interpretation and making.

Pattern Cutting Deconstructed: Wearable Art brings together Monisola Omotoso’s approach to creative pattern cutting, exploring how visual ideas can be translated into sculptural garments and three-dimensional form. Published by Laurence King, the book extends the studio’s research into a practical methodology for creative exploration.
