A neurodivergent designer who refers to his dyslexia as his “superpower” has said he feels “really pleased” that his origami dresses will be showcased at London Fashion Week (LFW).

Darryl Bedford, 55, from Fulham in west London, creates paper art, which he calls drawstring origami, using a combination of techniques including origami, the art of folding paper, and kirigami, a method of cutting and folding paper to create three-dimensional shapes.
