Shanghai fashion designer Yang Fang is definitely not the first to seek inspiration from origami for her runway looks.
One of the most notable collections in recent years, if not also the most wearable, it may just be the work of Japanese fashion house, Issey Miyake, with their collections featuring three-dimensional structures reduced to two-dimensional geometric patterns.
But Yang, a "country girl" whose childhood was filled with simple pleasures of nature and origami, might be the most determined paper-folding aficionado in the fashion world.
