This season the cocooning silhouette has been showcased in a lot of designers shows. I particularly like the cocoon shaped sleeve, as it resembles the modern architecture. 

Cosmic Wonder - Paper Collection

Cosmic Wonder is a conceptual project initiated in 1997 by Yukinori Maeda.  It is composed of three distinct activities; COSMIC WONDER (artworks), COSMIC WONDER Light Source (fashion and lifestyle project) and COSMIC WONDER Free Press (book and music publishing).

The Center for COSMIC WONDER,  was founded in 2007, and was designed to integrate all of these various activities. Besides functioning as a gallery space for art and concerts, it is a place where visitors can share the experience of an unusual space. Sheltered from the daily march of time, visitors here are free to drift along with the flow of sounds in the universe.

I looked at a collection called the Paper Collection, I liked how the simple silhouettes wrap around the body and how they are created from an everyday item such as paper. This is functional however not practical, but still something I can take into consideration.
