From the Author

This book was such a joy to create and write! Combining my two passions of Origami and Fashion. I created most of the models while traveling in Europe and spending time in Paris so I was definitely influenced by the modern trends in fashion.  I hope you enjoy the fun and exciting models in the book and create your own paper wardrobe! Happy Folding! -Sok

About the Author

Sok Song's passion for folding paper bloomed from a hobby he taught himself during his childhood to an award-winning origami-design business called Creased, Inc. He later attended Parsons with the intention of incorporating his origami skills into garment construction and fashion design.

Sok's book Crease + Fold was published by Random House and has been translated into three languages, and his origami work has been featured in numerous TV shows, including America's Next Top Model and Extreme Home Makeover. His work has also been included in magazines such as: Cosmopolitan, Elle, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Icon, InStyle, L'Uomo, Marie Claire, Pop, Self, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. Other notable clients include: Condé Nast Publications Ltd., Harrods, Kenzo, Imitation of Christ, MOMA, Macys, Paul Smith, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Museum of Art and Design, The Amercian Museum of Natural History, and The New Yorker.

Sok currently lives in New York City, although his folding work takes him all over the world.

I love this book! Every detail is perfect – from the wonderful designs to the included paper, the style tips to the explanations, I’ve already bought a few copies to give to friends and will be buying more. Most importantly for me, a relatively inexperienced folder, the stated difficulty levels are accurate, and the written and illustrated instructions are very easy to follow. I’m always looking for age appropriate and gender-neutral crafts to make with the middle and high school students I work with, and this book has been the answer. My students are having a blast with it. Thank you Sok Song!!!

An excellent addition to any origami library. A lovely well thought out book, that as an added bonus comes with paper designed specifically for each model in the book. Good for experienced folders and beginners as well, and the majority of the models are flat, which is great for those who make their own greeting cards or swap ATCS. The only complaint,( which is not really a complaint ) is where can I get more of the lovely paper that is in books. You may want to consider buying two or three of the books just so as to get more of the paper.

WOW! That’s all I can say. Just received this book and immediately set to work on the “sweater “. I was absolutely knocked off my feet! It was so simple and it looks fantastic. What a great book to have in your craft library.

I really like the idea of the book for my granddaughters Christmas gift. She is very artsy, enjoys sketching people and their clothes and I think she will enjoy the origami with fashion. She has 2 sisters and I think they will enjoy some of the book as well. It might even stir an interest in other origami projects, especially for the 7 year old with easier projects and in the future with this book..

Purchased this for Christmas for my friends daughter. She has already made several of the patterns into her creative designs. What's next for her? Project Runway? This is a great gift that encourages creativity, patience and stimulates the mind.

Wow - the dresses are killer; such a great combination of Fashion Design and Origami Design. I can see many of the accessories being table name tags for that special dinner party. And what not to love about the papers.....very calming colours and patterns.
