Shape Shape 2: Sewing for Minimalist Style

Natsuno Hiraiwa is a graphic designer turned fashion designer, and brings a clean minimalist style to her innovatively constructed garments and accessories. Many of her signature vests, collars, and shrugs are cut from a single flat piece of cloth, then ingeniously draped and fastened around the body. Other pieces are artfully twisted and folded like origami, giving a unique shape to the resulting blouses, tops, and skirts. All her designs create the striking silhouettes that epitomize her fashion collections, and result in one-of-a-kind garments suitable for all ages.
