Super-creative designer Fred Butler has created these handmade fantasy-like accessories with origami flair. The jewel-toned futuristic pieces of her Fall 2009 collection are boldly geometric in their style, yet by the photographic talent of [Elisha Smith-Leverock](http://www.smith-leverock.co.uk/fashion/heliocentric-electric/)they have been given a softened, somewhat cherub-like daydream effect.

These fantastical pieces are now available at Kabiri's shop at Selfridges in London.

**Implications** - The fantasy world has been an inspiration for all sorts of businesses because it is such an enchanting theme that many people enjoy. The idea of being a princess is a fantasy for not only little children, but also for grown women. Creating items that make people feel special, appealing and down-right gorgeous are going to be sold in seconds.
