The Three Classic Elements 潮流三寶





When I developed the latest shop window for Couverture and the Garbstore, I thought about a bird inspired shop window. I started origami research and created some origami birds showcasing with the products. Looking at origami garments, I got inspired to make some spare button cases out of them. Origami shirt is very simple and easy to make. It actually can hold buttons very well like an envelope. I used tracing paper to fold it. But felt the shirt was a bit plain and dull. Suddenly, the 3 classic elements for shirts flashed through my mind. They are stripes, polka dots and checks. Therefore, I designed black and white prints for these shirts. In fact, I think girls must have these patterns in their wardrobes, because they are so lovely and never out-of-date.
