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.
Found this picture online and it was captioned: "My friend challenged me to
take the most dramatic picture I could with a paper boat."
