Patterns Day: Workshop 'How Can a Box Become a Garment'

During the Patterns Day, workshops will be taking place in classrooms of the fashion department of the Antwerp Academy that are not normally open to the public. You can register to take part in this unique opportunity or simply drop in as an observer to watch the progress of the workshops.

In the ‘How Can a Box Become a Garment’ workshop, Esme Young and Patrick Lee Yow (Central Saint Martins) guide participants in transforming a 2D material into a 3D object with unconventional forms. Here, pattern sections are replaced by flat cardboard boxes. There are never any right or wrong answers, as the focus is on creating interesting 3D shapes.
