20 March 2014 www.womanthismonth.com FASHION | SS14 Origami Style The Japanese art of folding paper, commonly known as origami, has been the inspiration for several designers this year. A careful tuck here and there has resulted in the intricately structured pieces that we spotted at shows everywhere. Mainly appearing in solid and light neutral colours, the focus remains on the complexity of the tailoring. Pieces like skirts and tops step out of the ‘basics’ category with protruding fabrics and pop-up ruffles. The art of visualising the final result requires a detailed understanding of materials and sewing techniques. This expertise was portrayed by designers like Viktor & Rolf and Sonia Rykiel. Giambattista Valli and Etro used it as a special detail in their outfits. Will you be wrapping yourself creatively in this trend?
