Cartamodello/Pattern - From the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional

From the series NABA Insights comes ‘Cartamodello’ (Pattern) a handbook that starts from the basic element for making clothes, the sewing pattern, to describe how different people, places, and times periods have used it. A useful tool with which to understand how clothes are made, the pattern can also be applied when trying to create garments yourself. The relationship between the body, which is three-dimensional, and the fabric, which is two-dimensional, is a constant challenge, an exchange that helps us to think creatively in order to find solutions which, in practical terms, effectively translate the idea of function and beauty.
