in order to experiment with different silhouettes and also alternative panelling we as a group decided to experiment further with the technique of subtraction cutting as all of us particularly liked the outcome it produced and were keen to take this technique further and apply it to other garments. this particular technique is specifically useful for creating unusual silhouettes and structure therefore it aided me on my individual design exploration aswel as a collaborative experimentation.
a key aspect to the subtraction technique is the placement of the circles so we attempted to experiment in this area with as much variety as possible to really push the boundaries of its abilities. the image above is an example of one half scale pair we completed. when completing the first leg (the right hand side) we had plotted circles below the knee level, this resulted in the trouser leg not forming well and therefore we did not construct the bottom pair of circles on the other leg to compare the difference in the outcomes. the left hand leg gives an interesting silhouette without rendering them unwearable however the right hand leg due to the fact that we tapered the leg block in order to create a slender trouser caused it to completely distort.
