These dresses were created by Uruguay based designers Mercedes Arocena and Lucia Benitez for their thesis project. During their research about generations of civilizations they discovered that most garments were built out of rectangles and squares.

Their collection uses the aspects of origami such as folding, creasing and building of the structures out of rectangles and patterns without the use of paper.
