If all the images about the new collections showcased at the various fashion weeks got your creativity going, but you don't have the skills to make proper clothes or the money to buy the fabric, move from yesterday's post and come up with something entirely made with paper.

I'm posting here as help and inspiration some sketches to make simple paper lamps I found in an old issue of the Italian edition of Grazia magazine (note the difference: in October 1959 they published useful suggestions and advice on how to make paper lamps, now all the editions of Grazia feature a pile of useless news about celebrities – wonderful example of the emancipation of women…).

Italian speakers can easily read also the instructions, all the others, well, just follow the illustrations as they are easy enough to understand. Suggestion: try changing the proportions and the materials and come up with some accessories using these folding patterns. Enjoy!

Una risposta a “Building Fashionable (Paper) Structures”

    Original, the art of paper folding started on Japan and they called it as ‘Origami’. But as generations passes, people never stop from having new innovation out of the old discoveries. This time, the old paper folding becomes more intense, more fashionable and fantastic.
