This course explores the creative potential of paper as a basic sheet material in the realm of fashion, accessories and body adornment.
Structural properties of paper will be explored from flexibility, translucence, perforation, to strength, load bearing, and rigidity.
Through imaginative exploration of paper folding, crumpling, fastening, punching etc. a series of surface textures and structures that can wrap, drape or be carried by the human body are proposed.
Innovative combinations of these properties, augmented by the use of colour and surface finish will propose an individual fashion application
