André Lima's Origami Style

Having spent several of my formative years in the company of Japanese exchange students, I am no stranger to origami. So, when I read that the inspiration behind his André Lima's Spring 2009 collection was 'geometric effect' I had to do a double take. Yes, hard edges are certainly present in both geometry and origami, but how does one explain why each dress bears a striking resemblance to some of these origami classics?
