History of Origami

The earliest history of this art form originated during the early seventh century, when this technique was introduced to Japan from China. This technique had a strong impact on Japanese culture; which influenced their architecture and everyday life. It wasn't until the 1600 that origami developed into the technique we know today, which people then created objects from the paper. This lead to it being passed down generation to generation and soon after the art form was named Origami.
This form has been used by many artists and with them doing so they have maintained the important part of Japanese culture and have spread this technique around the world.

Textile designers.....

These are a few origami inspired textile designers...

 

 

These were created by Elena Salmistraro which were inspired by an origami design.
Her work in these images show how she has incorporated the origami chatterbox to create layers and detail on her work.

This was created by Anna o'neill.

These textile samples are Richard Sweeney's, who is a origami-based textile designer.

 

These are some more origami-based textile work.

Origami inspired designers..

These are garments from Roxanne Zamani's Incongruous collection. Her collection is a collaboration of 100% silk and leather, which inspired the name of her collection. When it comes to her garments she makes sure they are wearable sculpture.

These garments are both from Amaya Arzuaga the garment on the left is from her s/s 11 collection which reminds me of the shape of insect wings and the other from her spring 2010 collection; this collection was inspired by the notion of metamorphosis, she also added that each garment in her 2010 collection connotes the transformation of a butterfly.

These are garments from Lianna Sheppard's wearable origami collection.

Garments from Anja Mlakar a/w 11

These pleated garments are from Georgia Hardinge a/w 11 collection. (Which was also showed at LFW.) Her collection was inspired by the construction of the human body.

These garments are from Louise Goldin fall 10-11 collection. These garments relate even more so to my insect research due to the shape and patterns on the garments.

These garments from Malousebastiaan a/w 10-11 collection are very origami-based and relates more to my project due to this.

Kirstie Maclaren

These garments greatly relate to my project through colour as well as the shapes.

Japenese origami

These next pictures is of origami that I researched...

These images were very extreme examples of origami, the the shapes created within each one has made me develop designs and possible shapes for my final piece.
