The Internationally acknowledged Design Awards hosted by London’s Design Museum honored the best in the business of fashion, architecture, digital, graphics and design.
The awards saw Japanese Fashion Designer Issey Miyake and his design time grabbing the fashion award for their 132.5 collection, an origami inspired line made from recycled polyester. The quirky geometric collection features designs that are computer generated onto paper, cut, folded, and then unfolded. The nominees for the award also included Sarah Burton for Savage Beauty and Mary Katrantzou for her fall 2011 collection.
The International Design of the Year award, the most prestigious
of all other categories, was won by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for creating the Olympic Torch for 2012 games to be held in London.
The Olympic torch made of aluminum and hailed as beautiful symbol of the games is perforated with 8000 holes to represent each of the torch bearers running in London this year.
