From W Magazine:
Some designers start with a sketch. others, by draping on a form. For Canadian Jeremy Laing, however, the process kicks off with a little origami handiwork. "I work out how to achieve a shape by cutting and folding paper," Laing says. It explains the rather clean and architectural ethos behind his three-year-old line - and belies those formative years spent in Alexander McQueen's studio constructing high-drama runway showpieces. As Laing describes it, his collection is about the "appearance of simplicity that hides a complexity." But for all that apparent intellectualism, his fall collection is partly inspired by artist Josef Albers and kaleidoscopic symmetry - his clothes are easy, no-fuss wares. Prime examples: a billowy tank dress and a simple sheath with rivet details.
