Patchwork and origami

by Hanxin Zhang

I was inspired by a blue polka-dot children's dress from 1979 which is part of the fashion collection. This design combines elements of Pop Art, including colour blocking, geometric patterns, flat black borders and material collage. Creatively using leftover wallpaper and second-hand fabrics, it assembles these elements. The 3D aspect is achieved by employing the art of paper folding to transform 2D Pop Art elements into a dynamic, textured form.
