The basic principles of Subtraction Cutting are that the patterns don’t represent the garments outward shape, but the negative space which will form a hollow structure. This technique was developed by Julian Roberts, a well respected fashion designer and film maker who has shown 13 collections at London Fashion week. He is winner of the British Fashion Council's 'New Generation Award' gaining this title times.

This technique is unpredictable but after a few more attempts and experimentation I think that it would be easier to predict what the outcome may look like. Subtraction cutting is something I would like to investigate further.
