Excellence in Design—Is It Yofuk or Wafuk?

Patternworks International Faculty Award, 2001

University of Delaware, Department of Consumer Studies, Newark, DE 19716, Orzada{at}udel.edu

Influenced by the lines of traditional Japanese apparel, I have taken components of the kimono and transformed them into a contemporary western garment. My design challenge was to utilize the rectangular width of the fabric in both draping and drafting pattern design methods. Th is four-piece ensemble provides a synergy between my scholarly activity and teaching responsibilities.

Key Words: Drafting • Draping • Japanese Influence • Wafuk • Yofuk
