Skin + Bone: Parallel Practices in Fashion & Architecture
Blurring the boundaries between architecture and fashion, this beautifully illustrated book delves into the intersections and concepts underlying both disciplines. They share ideas of space, volume, and movement, functioning as a mediating layer between the body and the environment, expressing personal, political, and cultural identity. Fashion designers and architects employ similar construction techniques like pinning, folding, and draping, with fabric enabling complex forms. The catalogue, accompanying MOCA's 2006 exhibition, highlights the period from 1980 to the present, showcasing renowned designers such as Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, and Vivienne Westwood, and architects like Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry.
