“Toy Soldiers” tailoring patterns

Work-In-Progress – Love Garden series for Collect 2013. Nina Penlington, the under cutter at Dege & Skinner, Savile Row No.10 was so kind to make me unique drawn military patterns in 1/4 scale – they look like little toy soldiers (perhaps like an actual pattern is an abstraction of a full size man). They were drafted especially for me – the intention is to carefully cut them in a way that I’m able to utilise the negative space to create the love gardens. These will also be replicated in acetate – it’s very exciting I’m able to work with the luxury of actual patterns (pencil on paper). Thank you Nina!
