Fashion and Architecture

Beschreibung

Architecture has become a powerful tool in the fashion business. As clothes designers diversify into all sorts of product ranges from homeware to sports gear, and expand into the virtual world of e-commerce, the architectural image of built shops is becoming all the more apparent and all-pervasive. The title takes a close look at the relationship between fashion and architecture. It examines issues such as what role architecture plays in the formulation of fashion houses' identities, whether the line between fashion and architecture has become blurred, and if virtual shopping environments are intensifying the need to experience architectural space in the high street. Introduced by Martin Pawley, the title includes critical essays, a substantial interview section and colour illustrations of over 40 different stores. INTERVIEWS: David Chipperfield, Rasshied Din, Jan Kaplicky, Rem Koolhaas, Sally Mackereth. ARCHITECTS: Branson Coates, David Chipperfield Architects, Future Systems, Mark Guard Architects, Gabellini Associates, Gluckman Mayner Architects, Toshiko Mori Architects, Juan Salgado, Wells Mackereth. FASHION HOUSES: Comme des Garçons, Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, Marni, Issey Miyake, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent.
