ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project includes a structured cropped blazer with a pleated organza skirt. The goal of designing this
ensemble was to explore the use of geometrics in fashion. As such, I
began with cutting and surging the fabric for the skirt. Then, I placed
it in an origami fabric mold I’d created and steamed it. As for the
Blazer, I created a diamond-shaped sleeve by adding a dart from the cuff
to the elbow—to keep the consistency of the design throughout the
garment.

The creation process of this mold consisted of approximately 15 hours of work–from designing the pattern at the hem to creasing and folding the paper and then placing the fabric between the two layers and binding it. Afterward, the fabric was steamed in the mold for 30 minutes and then put under pressure for about a day before being taken out and completed.
