julian roberts- subtraction cutting

yesterday i was lucky enough to go to a one off event with the designer Julian Roberts. he's developed a new pattern cutting method, called subtraction cutting, where you look at clothing from a completely different perspective, as we always seem to look at clothes from the front. he also highlights the idea of the negative space, how we occupy the clothing and that everything we wear is tubular: trousers, skirts, tops, sleeves, dresses etc.


& here are the results...
