“Origami Noir”: BAÉ’s AW25 Collection
Origami Noir unfurls with a crisp, architectural confidence—folding darkness, discipline, and drama into wearable art.
This stunning sculptural collection dives deep into the interplay between rigid structure and fluid identity, layering meaning as deftly as fabric.
Inspired by the precision and quiet power of origami, razor-sharp tailoring is softened by intricate pleats, while tulle skirts and inserts introduce a sense of lightness, playing beautifully against the richness of the Mikado fabric.
Featuring architectural bows, structured rosettes, and precise tailoring, tulle skirts and inserts This interplay of strength and delicacy is central to the collection’s appeal.
Versatility is key: all accessories, including bows and floral elements, are fully detachable, allowing each look to transition effortlessly from day to night, or from casual to formal.
Origami Noir is a celebration of modern elegance and adaptability, designed for the confident, contemporary muse who values both innovation and timeless sophistication.
BAE plays with absence as much as presence: oversized hoods, obscured faces, and cocoon-like shapes suggest both protection and mystery. Black dominates, of course, but it’s far from flat; the textures—waxed cotton, raw-edged wool, structured jersey—give noir a thousand new dimensions.
What’s most compelling is BAE’s subversion of form. Trousers twist and morph; coats bloom like paper sculptures mid-movement. There’s a near-monastic severity at times, interrupted by punkish defiance: distressed hems, exposed seams, asymmetric closures. These pieces whisper rebellion—not with volume, but with precision.
In a landscape where maximalism often shouts to be heard, Origami Noir is a masterclass in the elegance of controlled chaos.
