Fabricscape
Innovative pattern-cutting by Elena Ryleeva

FABRICSCAPE is innovative pattern-cutting approach devised by Elena Ryleeva that is destined to initiate a new conscious direction in designing of clothing and accessories.
FABRICSCAPE project explores the application of mathematics, geometry (in cutting process), draping and sewing techniques to recreate the fabric surface/surfaces into three-dimensional structured sculptural object with exciting potentiality to becoming a unique design.

At the moment "Fabricscape" content is delivered through workshops. For the collaboration please contact us.

ā€‹

Important note: "Fabricscape" was coined by Elena in order to name her innovative method to work

which starts from contemplating the fabric piece and its “hand” - the feel of the fabric against the skin, and its draping properties. Further on the fabric piece gets transformed into a 3D surface by using creative pattern cutting and completing the design process on a dress-form.
