Faltenführung

Faltenführung, also known as pleating, is a technique used in various fields such as fashion design, textile manufacturing, and architecture. It involves creating folds or pleats in fabric, paper, or other materials to achieve specific aesthetic or functional effects. The process typically begins with marking the desired pleat lines on the material. These lines can be straight, wavy, or follow a specific pattern. The material is then folded along these lines, and the folds are secured using techniques such as stitching, gluing, or heat sealing. The number of pleats and their depth can be adjusted to create different visual and tactile effects. In fashion, pleating is used to create volume, shape, and movement in garments. In textiles, it can be used to create decorative patterns or to make materials more durable. In architecture, pleating can be seen in the design of roofs, walls, and other structural elements. The technique requires skill and precision to ensure that the pleats are even and well-secured.
