The Fashion of Architecture: Constructing the Architecture of FashionArchitecture is making its presence felt in fashion as the pliable metals, membrane structures, lightweight glasses and flexible plastics used in building construction are creeping on to the catwalks.
At the same time, architects and interior designers are borrowing the techniques of pleating and draping from traditional tailoring to design buildings that are interactive, inflatable, and even portable.
The exhibition features projects from architects such as David Adjaye, Shigeru Ban, Winka Dubbeldam, Zaha Hadid, Kivi Sotamaa, Lars Spuybroek, and Meejin Yoon while showcasing architectonic apparel from fashion mavericks such as Hussein Chalayan, Yoshiki Hishinuma, Kei Kegami, Michiko Koshino, Nicola de Main, Martin Margiela, Pia Myrvold, Yeohlee Teng, and Simon Thorogood.
Special work from Lucy Orta pioneers new potentials for interior environments and outdoor structures as she makes poetic comments on urban life.
