Description:
The complicity between architecture and fashion is explored in essays by Mark Wigley, Val Warke, and Leila Kinney, among others, and architectural projects by Machado and Silvetti, Diller + Scofidio, and Venturi Scott Brown. Topics range from the encoding of gender in fashion within the work of Semper, Wagner, Loos, and Le Corbusier to a discussion of the body as a scaffold for the display of ready-made wear. Paulette Singley and Deborah Fausch provide an introduction.
Expand description
"Architecture: In Fashion comes recommended with the caveat that it is not light reading. In fact, you may finish with a sense of wonder that it weighs so little, dense as it is with food for thought. This diminutive volume contains more theory than a freshman philosophy text, and the pictures are a hell of a lot better" -- Michael Jack, AIArchitect
