Archi-style





For my folio I wanted to show the link between Architecture and Fashion and the similarities in design principles. I created 'Archi-style'.

I designed a skirt that showed the connection through placing Architecture designs printed onto a skirt. The skirt itself had a very classic look to it and I used white satin silk to make the designs stand out. I placed black tulle on top of the skirt to soften up the images and a Japanese style bow around the waist.

A good reference book is Skin + Bones- Parallel Practises in Fashion and Architecture.
