# Origami Print Fashion Basso and Brooke Spring 2009 By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-10-06 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japan-fashion-influences-bruno-basso-and-christopher-brooke-do-origami-prin References: [elle](http://www.elle.com/collections/14656/basso-brooke-fashion-show-spring-2009-ready-to-wear.html) & [bassoandbrooke.net](http://www.bassoandbrooke.net/) Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke did Japan design a world of favors. [Japanese printmakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reversible-sukajan-kimono) created the textiles inspired by the [ancient paper craft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-a-light) and Basso and Brooke let the prints capture the catwalk. The collision of patterns with beading, over-embroidery and uber crystallization by Swarovski had tremendous eye appeal. Japan-inspired [origami-pleats and folding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) added effects that enhanced the overall aesthetic. **Implications** - The integration of traditional garments and contemporary fashion demonstrates that the past is still a relevant influence. It's not easy for brands to continuously come up with something new, so it's become more commonplace to breathe life into old fashion to create something fresh in a different perspective. The combination of classical ideas and modern design brings something new to the table that will appeal to a new generation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Origami-inspired Fashion:** Designers can explore the use of origami folds and pleats in their clothing lines to add visual interest and bring a fresh take to traditional styles. - **Asian-inspired Textiles:** The use of Japanese printmakers to create textiles can open doors for designers to explore traditional techniques and motifs from other cultures for their collections. - **Combining Classical and Modern Elements:** Mixing traditional garments with modern design elements can create something fresh and appealing to a new generation of consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can look to incorporate origami folds and Asian-inspired textiles into their clothing lines to appeal to consumers looking for something fresh and innovative. - **Textiles:** Textile companies can collaborate with fashion designers to create unique fabrics and prints inspired by traditional Japanese techniques and motifs. - **Art and Design:** Designers and artists can draw inspiration from traditional Japanese paper crafts like origami to explore new techniques and aesthetics in their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kimino Making-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origata-collection.md) - [Pleated Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake.md) - [Experimental Programmable Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-clothing.md) - [Skewer-Inspired Structural Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-and-crease-extended.md) - [Origami-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-31.md) - [Origami-Inspired Seating Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origamiinspired-design1.md) - [House-Like Paper Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-show-space.md) - [Reimagined Sleek Paper Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muji-labo.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md)
