I’m personally super enthusiastic about fashion and clothing. Through the process of observing and experimenting, I found that the pattern design of the garment is artful itself. Even with little changes and thoughts put into pattern design, designers are able to create amazing silhouettes and forms.
These pictures well illustrate the possibility of garments that pattern design allows. With these origami-inspired folding patterns, Issey Miyake turns the flat fabrics into something that owns volume. Even with rather muted color and texture, the garments stand out for their unique expression of geometry. Moreover, the idea of morphing folding paper into a wearable garment is inspiring in a way that opens up a new perspective of designing: Instead of only focusing on creating 2 dimensionally, designers can actually look into the various materiality of fabrics and design based on their own uniqueness such as foldable, transluscent, and sitff, etc.
