Zero-waste series — 5 garments
Year2023
TypeDiploma project
TechniqueLaser cutting
SchoolBaza, Moscow
SystemA4-based pattern

Five garments built from a single rule: every pattern piece is a multiple of an A4 rectangle. Proportion, rotation, division — the silhouette follows from the system, not from the body.

No material is removed. Each cut that defines the garment becomes its structural edge. Five garments, five variations of the same grammar.

Each piece is wearable and structured, but its silhouette draws from sources beyond the body — mechanical joints, folded paper, industrial cutting templates.

Laser cutting enforces the geometry. The seam allowance is the cut line. Construction and ornament are the same thing.

References: the folded wing of an insect, the cross-section of rock strata, the grid of a circuit board. Not metaphors on the surface — structural logics inside the cutting system.
