“TR PATTERN CUTTING” COURSE WITH SHINGO SATO

The Japanese artist Shingo Sato, creator of the “TR Pattern Cutting” technique, in collaboration with Ferrari Fashion School held two courses lasting 2 days each (creative Moulage and Origami Workshop), at the headquarters of the Ferrari Fashion School in Milan.
The basic course has illustrated its innovative technique of 3D modelling, creative and intuitive modeling of prototypes, which is located halfway between the drapery and the traditional modelling. The course taught to create new models in 3D directly by intervening on the manikin starting from a pre-constructed base in canvas. The abbreviation “TR” stands for “Transformational Reconstruction”, a technique that works through the reconstruction/transformation of the garments.
The course illustrated the basic techniques, design and construction of models with Moulage technique.
The Moulage also known as Draping is a manual technique, with which the fabric is modeled directly on tailor-made mannequin, through which it is possible to make a dress in one piece, transforming it into geometric shapes and flowing creations. and perfect.
The Moulage allows you to create a garment directly on the manikin, without following the standard rules of traditional modelling, because the model is not built starting from a flat figure or 2D, but the three-dimensionality. This allows you to already have a first idea of its creation, and decide how to move forward. All this through the use of a canvas, pins, folds, dexterity, modules, draperies, and lots of creativity.
With the model created directly on the manikin you can manage details and fit at any time, adapting them according to different needs. The results will be new models, cuts and lines that give life to a new three-dimensional prototype.
