Folding enters the design process as a constructive gesture.
No longer a surface detail, it becomes a logic that generates form.

Surfaces bend, wrap, reorganize around the body.
The garment is conceived as something that can be folded, unfolded, reinterpreted, carrying forward a design culture deeply rooted in contemporary Japanese fashion, where construction and transformation are inseparable.

Across designers such as Sacai and Setchu, this approach unfolds through hybrid constructions, unstable proportions and unexpected material combinations.
Classic wardrobe elements are dismantled, recomposed and layered, shifting away from fixed typologies and stable silhouettes.

Folding operates as a tool for transformation: reversible pieces, variable constructions, forms that adapt to the way they are worn.
The garment is not fixed, but continuously redefined through use.

The focus moves to the behavior of the garment.
Movement and spatial presence.

A different idea of contemporary luxury takes shape: fluid, modular, open.
Built through gesture and evolution.
