This thesis deals with the research of the origin and history of paper and the ancient techniques of its folding, cutting or combination of techniques, and their application in fashion. For the purposes of this paper, thirty 3D illustrations were created using drawing and painting techniques in combination with the paper techniques covered in this paper. Also, one of the illustrations was realized and with its help I researched how certain elements can be performed if the medium of production is changed, using textiles instead of paper, what are the differences between the sharpness of folds obtained in paper and textiles and literal decoration of garments already crafted elements. The techniques I focused on the most in my work are origami, kirigami and quilling, with a touch of secondary techniques such as paper cutting and pleating that have a slight connection to the topic covered. In addition to the classic origami technique in which a rectangular or circular sheet of paper is folded, I also used elements of modular origami, which requires the production of a larger number of smaller elements and their arrangement into a larger, homogeneous whole. I further enriched the work with author's photographs of my own illustrations and photographs of works by other authors that served as inspiration.
