Designer Ryan Yasin has developed a range of children’s clothing that is inspired by the Japanese art of origami. After noticing a lack of sustainability in the clothing industry, he took it onto himself to create Petit Pli, clothes that children can wear from about three months to three years.
Petit Pli is made from a distinctive pleated lightweight fabric which is waterproof, machine washable and recyclable, winning the young designer a prestigious James Dyson award.
With his creation, he hopes to help stop the huge pressure on the environment through waste, water consumption and carbon emissions through mass production, not to speak of the overwhelming expenses parents have for buying new clothes every few weeks.
