Rei Kawakubo -

Kawakubo an architect of clothes, creating structures and shapes the body occupies as an independent entity’ Her work reminds me that fashion and architecture are increasingly becoming more intertwined as they adapt to their surround world. ‘This is not just a question of architecture becoming more fashion-oriented. Yes, it is becoming more ephemeral, image-oriented, and subject to the cycles of fashion, including its continual references to classic periods (classical, baroque, rococo, neo-classical) and its appropriation of previously outré form for use by the elite.’ But, in addition, technology, craft, and fluidity of form are causing the opposition between things we wear and things that shelter us to dissolve in favour of structuring both individual and social persona.’
