This latest Wearable Art collection for Malta Fashion Week 2022, entitled “Paper Crazy”, is made of 12 unique sculpted pieces showcasing the technical aspects of paper manipulation as well as an unconventional sense of Fashion style.

Inspired by my architectural studies and my passion for Origami, for this wearable art collection I chose to work again with paper and any recycled paper material such as paper cotton, paper cord and used packaging belts. Each piece is handmade in a process that might be described as analogue, some of the garments feature origami folds, others are accumulations of thousands of individual pieces of papers knotted together, while some made of 3 dimensional geometric models.
