An origami-inspired line of clothing (Petit Pli) for children wins the James 
Dyson award. The clothes employ pleats &  corrugations, allowing the clothing 
to stretch and expand.  It is also sustainable since the garments grow with its 
wearer.

Last year's International prize of the Dyson design was awarded to Isis Shiffer 
(https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/nov/17/folding-bike-helmet-wins-james-dyson-design-award),
 whom many may remember or met at a number of OUSA conventions held at FIT. Her 
foldable bike helmet (EcoHelmet) is made of "card stock paper & collapses into 
the size of a banana 
(http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/08/technology/ecohelmet-bike-helmet-foldable/index.html)."
