Yik Fei takes the papercraft fashion craze to the next level by creating looks that are both edgy and futuristic. Although these pieces and outfits are not very practical to wear on a daily basis, they are very impressive as a wearable art form, just as other similar creations have been as well.
Based in Singapore, Yik Fei created these singular paper fashion pieces as his final year project for his graphic design course. "Inspired by an idealized vision of the future with the conception of the neo-human in mind," as Yik Fei puts it, his Mono series melds together the art of fashion and graphic design, which can be considered one and the same by many designers.
