The art of draping

Fashion Draping methods ad techniques.

Thanks to Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen’s experience as a renowned pattern-
drafter, this book tackles the difficult technique of the draped clothing in
the Western culture of fashion.

Transparency games and fabrics moving over the body play key roles in this
subtle exercise. Draping transforms a garment into a work of art and makes
pattern drafting noble through cutting techniques, choices of prestigious
fabrics and dexterous manipulations. This exercise in style has always been
preferred and used by the top names in fashion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In this book, Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen introduced his ground-breaking
universe through his technique and his personal creation of the six kinds of
draping techniques which associate fluidity and graphics, just like the great
figures who preceded him. A true invitation to travel can be found, since he
reveals that creativity inspired by Art is out of time and space, and that it
breaks free from identity, stigmatizing labels and appearances.
