Here are few inspirational pieces towards my final editorial design project.

Hussein Chalayan designed a paper email dress which is wearable and washable, and a great source for unrippable paper clothes. It's a dress made out of paper that folds up to fit inside an airmail envelope. The flap can simply be opened, unfolded, and the dress can be put on. On the other hand you can write on the dress, put it in the post, and send it to a friend.

A hexagon dress was designed made from 466 paper hexagons, which were printed and assembled hexagon by hexagon. Each one is connected to the other via side flaps. 1 third of the dress has red flaps, another third green flaps, and another third blue flaps. The flaps illuminate the dress by altering the pattern through the light. The lighting works in a way that when the red light intensifies the red flaps in the dress darken the green and blue. Working similarly for each colour. This gives the illusion that the dresses pattern is constantly changing.

Yoshi experiments with paper from folding it, drawing on it to cutting it into little pieces. His inspiration is derived from geometrical patterns used for sacred decoration in India. In his work his inspiration is derived from three different fields, arts, industrial design and fashion. His work is highly unique with folding paper to make extravagant hats and dresses, to large freestanding lantern sculptures.
