Creator of subtraction cutting. This pattern cutting technique, known as 'subtraction cutting' or 'zero waste', makes the most of the negative spaces that can be opened up in fabric and falls somewhere between traditional pattern cutting and draping - resulting in experimental garments that break from the boundaries of the usual garment shapes.

“Why make user-friendly clothes? Because people don’t know how to  look after a garment anymore—how to iron properly or fold pieces—which is why they throw stuff away before they need to.”
