# Geometric Paper-Inspired Shawls The Origami Scarf by Monomatopee is Perfect for Busy Fingers By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-09-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-scarf-by-monomatopee References: [bitrebels](http://www.bitrebels.com/design/origami-art-inflatable-scarf/) & [tokyo-marumasu](http://tokyo-marumasu.com/monomatopee/index.html) The Origami Scarf by Monomatopee fuses fashion and the Japanese art of paper folding to make one-of-a-kind scarves that will bring out the designer in everyone. What is wonderfully different about the Origami Scarf by Monomatopee is the fact that it is not restricted to one style. Like paper folding, the boundaries are limitless; the form of the scarf depends on the mood of the wearer. You can fold it one day, scrunch it the next, or tie it around to form a bow. The material of the scarf feels like paper, but is actually fabric that can be blown up with air and then manipulated into different shapes. To create a more traditionalist origami feel, each scarf contains triangular patterns quite similar to the folded and creased lines you would find if you were to unfold one of the paper sculptures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Paper-inspired Fashion:** The use of origami-inspired designs in clothing offers opportunities for creative and customizable fashion options. - **Multi-functional Textiles:** Fabrics that can be manipulated and styled in various ways allow for versatility and personalized expression in fashion. - **Craft-inspired Accessories:** Accessories that incorporate traditional crafting techniques and styles, such as origami, offer unique and individualized fashion statements. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry could benefit from incorporating origami-inspired designs and manipulatable textiles to provide consumers with customizable and unique options. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Manufacturers could explore the development of fabrics that are both paper-like in texture and easily moldable, allowing for multi-functional uses in fashion and beyond. - **Art and Crafts Retail:** Retailers specializing in art and crafts could expand their offerings to include accessories that incorporate traditional crafting techniques, such as origami, to appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Folded Paper Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clara-von-zweibergk.md) - [Artist-Designed Playable Sensory Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-play-silk.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [RFID-Blocking Origami Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-wallet.md) - [Seasonal Interactive Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washi-paper.md) - [Origami-Inspired Seating Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origamiinspired-design1.md)
