The STEM and Leaf Skirts are both part of my Fibonacci Series - a
collection of garments based on the Fibonacci sequence. (As you
travel from the waist to the hem, the spacing of each of the
segments follows 1, 1, 2, 3, 5…) The Leaf Skirt has 8-fold
rotational and mirror symmetry. I designed this skirt to be as 3D
and spiky as possible, therefore it is not flat-foldable, even
though it shares a lot of design elements with the STEM skirt. It is
paired with a shirt whose central graphic contains part of the
crease pattern for the skirt design and is made from the negative
space removed when creating the skirt. The sleeves also use the same
pattern as the skirt but are constrained in a different way.
