(02) - The Vision
Manifesto

Technique does not limit creation. It gives it power.

At dp studio, we stand for a simple idea: mastering patternmaking should open creation up, not constrain it.

We want to contribute to a new way of looking at fashion patternmaking: no longer only as a technique for reproducing or constructing a garment, but as a language for imagining, researching and creating.

An ambition

Our ambition is to teach creation through patternmaking.

To provide the knowledge needed to understand the garment, master its construction and gain enough freedom to go beyond existing models.

A standard

We believe in patternmaking that is demanding, precise and rigorous, yet open to experimentation. Patternmaking that provides the means to search, transform, subvert and invent.

Rigour brings precision.

Method brings understanding.

Mastery brings freedom.

Our vision is of a garment conceived, constructed and explored by those who master its rules.

Understand. Master. Transform. Create.

This is the direction dp studio wishes to give patternmaking:

to make technical mastery a true creative force.
