Vogel: A Contemporary Women's Fashion Collection

Celebrating the Enigmatic Beauty of Origami

A contemporary women’s wear line with strong mathematical underpinnings, Vogel celebrates the pure, enigmatic beauty concealed within geometric relationships.

Inspired by the metamorphic qualities and delicate intricacy of origami, Vogel is at once ethereal and architectural. This innovative collection, designed by Lea Freni, takes traditional paper folding techniques to new heights, resulting in a stunning range of garments that blend art, fashion, and technology.

An intensive exploration of traditional origami techniques, centered on the deconstruction and manipulation of the paper crane, informed the development of silhouettes, garment components, and original digital prints. Freni's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to translate folding techniques from paper to textiles sets Vogel apart from other women's fashion collections.

The Vogel collection showcases a range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, cotton sateen, brushed silk, silk habotai, shantung, organza, and rayon. Each fabric is carefully selected to enhance the architectural qualities of the garments and provide a clean and precise finish.

With individual garment dimensions varying but fit to a size 0 runway model, Vogel offers a unique and avant-garde approach to women's fashion. The collection has garnered attention and accolades, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Fashion, Apparel, and Garment Design category in 2015. This award recognizes Vogel's outstanding expertise, innovation, technical characteristics, and artistic skill.

Photographed by Gavin Zhang and Stephanie Addison, the images of the Vogel collection capture the essence of its enigmatic beauty. The collection has been showcased on runways and in fashion editorials, captivating audiences with its blend of artistry and mathematical precision.

Vogel is not just a fashion collection; it is a testament to the power of design, innovation, and the transformative nature of origami. Lea Freni's vision and dedication have created a collection that pushes the boundaries of fashion and challenges our perceptions of what is possible.
