Printed
Some forms cannot be drafted on paper. They are modelled digitally and printed in flexible materials, then set onto fine tulle so they move with the body.
Cut
Hundreds or thousands of pieces are laser cut from fabric, film or leather, then placed one at a time by hand.
Bonded
Instead of seams, layers can be fused with heat into a single surface, so the garment reads as one continuous skin.
Finished
Every piece is finished at the table. A single look can take weeks of handwork.
