“Skin+Bones: Parallel Practices in Fashion and Architecture” was a fascinating exhibition that showed in LA and Tokyo during 2006/07. The exhibition highlighted the work of superstars from both architectural and fashion fields including Comme des Garçons, Frank Gehry, Alexander McQueen, Herzog & de Meuron, Narciso Rodriguez and Zaha Hadid Architects. It explored how both professions share the same concerns for ‘sheltering’ the human body and both can act as a means to express an identity. It showed interesting themes in form, patterns, geometry, construction, deconstruction and folding. and demonstrated how both fields (well, all design professions I think) also share quite a similar process from concept development to detailed design.
In this interview, curator Brooke Hodges says “I’m always interested in how architecture relates to different fields, and blurring the boundaries even with art. Right now, I’m thinking about an exhibition on landscape architecture using landscape as a medium for design”. Ooh I can’t wait for that next exhibition!
