Fashion Formations: The Art of Dart Manipulation in the 1940's
Informedi by the Lorna Clarke Collection held in the RMIT Design Archives, this session will explore the designs reflective of the silhouette, details,
materials and colours popular in the 1940's. Students will be introduced to the use of blocks in developing patterns translating design ideas from fashion
illustrations to the finished garment.
At the end of the session, participants will have created a suite of pattern drafts and pieces inspired by the vintage Lorna Clark designs.
Presented in association with the 2026 PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival, RMIT Design Archives, and RMIT School of Fashion & Textiles.
