Sao Paulo Fashion Week 2004 - Brazil

On June 17th 2004 at SP Fashion Week, the designer Jum Nakao performed a great catwalk show which at the end, the models ripped off very elaborated clothes made of paper.

The colection was made in more then 700 hours of work, envolving around 150 professionals.

The catwalk show was just amazing!

Pleating

After a great day with Terry Weinart, it's time to try my own pleating samples and see how it goes...

This is how your pattern starts

How to start the folding. 

How it looks like when it's finished.
You always need to make 2 patterns to put them together with the fabric  in between. 

After put the fabric in between the two paper patterns, they need to be tied together and then steam with the iron or a hot presser.   

Starting some ideas, design development.
