# Origami Eye Lashes Gareth Pugh Goes for Geometric Makeup for Spring/Summer 09 By Jessica Merrill | Published 2009-02-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-lashes References: [frillr](http://frillr.com/?q=node/11163) Gareth Pugh’s Spring/Summer show at Paris Fashion Week defiantly revealed a geometric, black and white makeup theme, in which origami lashes made a debut. Contrasting with [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camlia-futura)’s and [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-show-space)’s natural, blended Spring looks, this avant garde aesthetic centered on a bold precision. A firm, two-toned paper--with black on one side and white on the other--was affixed to the eye in a way that continued the dramatic angle of the lined cat eye. The paper was folded to reveal black or white with the blink of an eye. This look presents a creative, post-modern addition to the [false lash family](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impress-falsies). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 86% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Geometric Makeup:** Opportunity for makeup companies to experiment and develop new makeup techniques and products that embrace geometric designs - **Origami Lashes:** Opportunity for false lash manufacturers to create new lash designs that incorporate the origami technique - **Avant Garde Makeup:** Opportunity for makeup artists to challenge traditional makeup designs and embrace more avant-garde and post-modern looks ### Where This Applies - **Makeup:** Makeup industry has an opportunity to create new products targeted towards avant-garde makeup enthusiasts - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate geometric designs and origami techniques into clothing designs and accessories - **Art:** Art industry has an opportunity to showcase avant-garde makeup designs as a form of creative expression ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Interactive Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washi-paper.md) - [Balayage-Inspired False Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balayage-wispies.md) - [Origami-Inspired Holiday Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tale-of-wonders.md) - [Eye Makeup Product Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-makeup-product.md) - [Floral High-End Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camlia-futura.md) - [High-Fashion Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prabal-gurung-x-kiss.md) - [Bug-Like Avant-Garde Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-01.md) - [Vibrant Upscale Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-spring-2025.md) - [House-Like Paper Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-show-space.md)
