Flat surfaces are folded, creased and ultimately transformed using traditional origami sequential patterns. Unfolded and remapped, sequential analysis reinforces the concept of regeneration. Individual statement garments lie folded flat like a series of collapsed geometric landscapes. Pulled up and unfolded, however, each compressed form gracefully spatialized into three-dimensions. Abstract Sculptural expressions whose wearability would seem like an accidental discovery...except it's not an accident. This line has it's own language, distinct from the rest of the wearable universe. Mixed-use garments; shirts, jackets, skirt, or dresses that can be worn as variable elements. A wardrobe in constant programmatic flux. NUMBERS GAME The secret to 132 5, a Reality Lab concept. The clothing is first designed using a software program, built by computer scientist and post-modern origami guru Jun Mitani, generates intricate three-dimensional shapes from a single flat sheet of paper. Once Miyaki and his team replicate the forms in recycled PET polyester, they examine ways of refolding the garments into flat, planar shapes through the incorporation of cut-lines. The clothing is first designed using a program that generates 3D shapes from a single sheet of paper. It's this multidisciplinary process, in fact, that lends the collection its name. The number ...
