Akira Isogawa at the Arts House

Works of Japanese-Australian designer Akira Isogawa are on exhibtion at the Arts House. Inspired by origami and chubby dolls, he creates wonderful pieces of garments that are truly seasonless, a pure exploration of form and possibilities of the fabric. The exhibition shows not only the end products, but also the process paper cuttings and foldings,showing how the design process starts from, say, some origami folded from newspaper to the final intricately constructed dresses, which I found to be very interesting
