Origami Clothes

When you think of origami, chances are good that you don’t think of clothing. Maybe you picture those cute little paper swans, or some ornately folded cloth napkins at a fancy dinner. This fall promises to change that. Designers all over are adding fun folds, twists, and pleating to their fall lines. Exquisitely feminine, yet distinctive and bold, folded fabric is a fun way to add some pizzaz to your look.

Yuvita’s unique look lends itself well to this trend this fall. The grey skirt has a wide folded panel hung asymmetrically across the waist and a front inverted pleat for a unique look. The shirred lapel jacket has tiny pleated cuffs and a belted waist for feminine definition.

Karen Kane’s semi-sheer purple and black top has smocking on the boat-neckline and sleeve cuffs, which leave the full sleeves and full-cut top with delicate pleats and folds that fall nicely across the body.

VFish’s fall assortment has perfected the origami look, and The Clothes Gallery carries a few of their best dresses. The “Beth” dress has great folds on the shoulders and around the neckline that draw attention up and away from the lower body, while the rest of the simple silhouette flows smoothly over the body. The twist front dress has just that: a gathered neckline that meets betweens the breasts with a bold twist that opens to the body of the dress. Two large front pockets complete the look.
