High fashion unquestionably goes hand-in-hand with sartorial and
stylistic perfection. A driving force behind the entire fashion and
garment industry, it represents the search for new solutions concerning
fabrics, style, or patterns. In this context, the patternmaker is an
essential figure, bringing the stylist's ideas into reality. In our
richly illustrated new volume of the Fashion Patternmaking series, the
prolific author Antonio Donnanno, an offspring of a tailor family,
patternmaking teacher, and director of a fashion school network,
describes in detail the methods and techniques used in high-fashion
patternmaking in an understandable and step-by-step way.
