Papercut Clothing Collections

William Tempest Fall 2009 Line is an Origami Lover's Dream

I'm loving the sharp cuts and clean lines in William Tempest's Fall 2009 collection. These angular fashions remind me of origami or papercraft couture, only they're not made of paper.

We've been seeing a rise in angled, avant-garde shapes for ready-to-wear collections. Although the images above are of William Tempest's Fall 2009 runway show, his clothing is available at Browns Fashion exactly as is.
