What is an Architectural- Fashion?
•Fabrics as a building materials, creating both hard and round lines.
•Oversize proportions, exaggerated angles
•Strong silhouettes with emphasis on structure, shape and form.
•Major pleats, folds, pinning, layering, surface texture and three-dimensional designs.

Old-school masters
•Pierre Balmain (1914-82) declared, “dressmaking is the architecture of movement,” believing “nothing is more important in a dress than
its construction.”
•With his structured approach to design, Gianfranco Ferré (1944-2007) was known as “the architect of fashion.”
• Not uncoincidentally, both Balmain and Ferré held degrees in architecture.

Fashion is ArchitectureArchitecture and fashion have a lot in common, both, designer and architect use geometry to generate forms, they create structure, design lines and shapes.
• As Coco Chanel said: “Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportion.”
• That fashion and architecture have a great deal in common may be surprising given the obvious differences between the two.
• Fashion can often be ephemeral and superficial, and uses soft, fluid materials; whereas architecture is considered monumental and permanent, and uses strong, rigid materials.
• Regardless of differences in size, scale, and materials, the point of origin for both fashion design and architecture is the human body both practices protect and shelter us, while providing a means to express our identities whether personal, political, religious, or cultural.”

•In 2010, Derek Lam gave a nod to Frank Gehry’s IAC building as an influence on his fall collection: “Walking to work each day between Chelsea and the Meatpacking District I get to enjoy all sorts of views of Frank Gehry’s building,
from which I got a lot of the impetus for this collection.” (Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz) has also channeled Gehry’s soft lines,
•Last October, the 27-year-old avant-garde designer Gareth Pugh presented a collection of armor like outfits — “a modern warrior,” he called the aesthetic —
bringing engineered clothing to new heights.
•The current designers, Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi, are carrying the label’s lineage into the future, with “the introduction of new, more fluid fabrics that enable the hard architectural shapes to become softer and more feminine.”
•The Swedish designer Sandra Backlund doesn’t look at architecture for direct inspiration, but admits, “I am very fascinated by all the ways you can highlight, distort and transform the natural
silhouette with clothes and accessories.”

Architecture is making its presence felt in cutting-edge fashion.
Although the relationship between architecture and fashion was recognized more than a century ago, the connection
between them has rarely been explored by historians, designers or practicing architects.
The Fashion of Architecture is the first attempt to investigate the contemporary relationship between architecture and fashion in considerable depth, by examining the ideas,
imagery, techniques and materials used by visionaries such as Martin Margiela, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Tadao
Ando and Daniel Libeskind.
As mavericks ranging from Hussein Chalayan and Rei Kawakubo to Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid describe
architecture’s role in the formation of fashion identities, new readings of both areas emerge.
