Uyen Nguyen has been collaborating with Lea Freni for the 2016 Spring/Summer collection of VOGEL, an emerging contemporary womenswear brand that recently debuted at Vancouver Fashion Week. The collection is embedded with the latest research in origami mechanics, based on Nguyen's own designs and research at Cornell University's Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics. Uyen is a board member of OrigamiUSA.
