Timo Rissanen: Fashion Creation Without Fabric Waste Creation

This blog documents the progress (and occasionally not) of my PhD, commenced in late 2004. I'm investigating fashion creation without fabric waste creation through design practice. The views expressed here are my personal opinions, and do not represent those of any organization I may work for or be otherwise involved with. Copyright Timo Rissanen 2006-2011
