# Sculpturally Folded Attire Hanna Freese's Just Pleat It Collection Plays with Folded Elements By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-08-12 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanna-freese References: [lanciatrendvisions](http://www.lanciatrendvisions.com/en/article/a-just-pleat-ita-by-hanna-freese-mutiplied-manyfold) & [hb.se](http://hb.se) [Swedish School of Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swedens-sunniest-square-meter) graduate Hanna Freese is the creative mind behind "Just Pleat It", a collection of modern garments that reveal a series of sculpturally organic forms. The designer's latest womenswear line aims to "push pleating methods to the limit by using multiple layers of fabric with a variety of bright hues and different types of pleats." The incredible result of Hanna Freese's textile experimentation is a line of [dynamically draped dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection) that are accented with protruding pleat elements. These garments are displayed in a palette of vivid hues like lime greens and citrus oranges while their sculptural accents are showcased in similar, [color-layered tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-evelina-severin-and-layered). The garments are artful and unique in their aesthetic while reflecting the young designer's signature sense of style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculptural Fashion:** Fashion designers can experiment with sculptural forms and dynamic draping techniques to create unique apparel pieces. - **Colorful Pleating:** Using bright and contrasting colors in pleating techniques can add a touch of vibrancy to fashion pieces. - **Textile Innovation:** Exploring new pleating methods and materials can lead to innovative and unique textile designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion designers and retailers can incorporate sculptural fashion and colorful pleating to create unique collections and attract new consumers. - **Textile Industry:** Textile manufacturers can experiment with new pleating techniques and materials to create innovative textiles for fashion and other industries. - **Art and Design Industry:** Artists and designers can incorporate sculptural elements and bright colors in their works to create unique and eye-catching pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Smock Fabric Inflated Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smock-collection.md) - [Skewer-Inspired Structural Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-and-crease-extended.md) - [Pleated Textile Dividers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plissade.md) - [Pleated Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake.md) - [Seasonal Interactive Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washi-paper.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md)
