Paco Rabanne’s work is distinguished by its innovation in materials and garment construction, utilizing spatial structures to generate volumetric surfaces through the intervention of modular pieces. Within the realm of fashion projects, the modularity of a garment is elucidated by examining various aspects such as scale, materials, structure, and adaptation to the human body, as well as the creation of complex volumes via lines, flat surfaces, or three-dimensional modular reliefs. This understanding of modularity extends to pattern cutting, with patterns capable of forming abstract modular elements that contribute to volume creation. The concepts of modularity and geometric versatility, defined as the capacity to produce distinct volumes, serve as the foundational principles for the experimental pattern cutting method known as Accidental Cutting

In this publication, an approach to modularity as a generating agent for design projects, in this case, fashion design, is presented. An analysis of the formation of surfaces and volumes through various modular elements, whether linear, flat, or volumetric, is conducted. A wide range of possibilities for joining these elements is explored, even from the perspective of pattern cutting and the experimental pattern cutting method known as Accidental Cutting.
