DRAPING
COULD BE SAID THAT DRAPING FABRICS ON A BODY OR MANNEQUIN IS WHAT VIVIENNE WESTWOOD SAID “LEARN ACTING”.
Draping must also have to do with creating ideas directly on a mannequin. Draping is a technique that has been used since a long time in the past.
As John Galliano said “It is basically related to engineering, rather than anything else. It's about finding the limits of what is possible to drape fabric body. Everything evolves. Nothing strictly defined."
The great dressmakers of the history use that technique to create different silhouettes. It could be describe as a process similar to sculpt the body with fabric.
Who do they create those silhouettes? Creating volume. Then we have that to create a volume in fashion have to be excess of fabric on the garment.
