20 Sep Colors, curves and patterns
As Coco Chanel famously said “fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.” And she was right once more, besides being ahead of her era.
Although, architecture and fashion share a common purpose – to create a shelter for the human body in different scale though – aesthetics is the common factor that features the dynamic of novel approaches to fashion and architecture’s emerging practices. Curves, angles, patterns and colors found in buildings are used as a food for thought by designers and lead to impressive and futuristic clothes, shoes and jewelry. Most of these techniques are applied in volume or facade, or in both. Attributes’ examples featuring the meeting point of fashion and architecture follow.
Enjoy!
