Fashion and Architecture

Featuring interviews with high-profile architects Rem Koolhaas, Jan Kaplicky of Future Systems and David Chipperfield, and covering, among others, Comme des Garçons, Dolce & Gabbana, Issey Miyake, Prada and Yves Saint-Laurent stores, this issue takes a close look at the relationship between fashion and architecture. It examines issues such as what role architecture plays in formulation of fashion houses' identities, wether the line between fashion and architecture has become blurred, and if virtual shopping environments are intensifying the need to experience architectural space in the high street. Probing and far-reaching in this editorial content, Fashion and Architecture is the most comprehensive and high-qaulitty visula record of current fashion retail.
