London exhibit probes parallels between architecture and fashion

London exhibit probes parallels between architecture and fashion. By Suzy Menkes. International Herald Tribune. 04.28.08. 

excerpted text and quotes:

"The idea of designers and architects working together is nothing new, from the Tokyo store collaboration between Prada and Rem Koolhaas to Hussein Chalayan's techno virtuosity in morphing dresses into chairs. But "Skin + Bones, Parallel Practices in Fashion and Architecture" (at the new Embankment Galleries in London's Somerset House until Aug. 10) is something else: a fascinating study of how the two crafts have run separately but on similar lines over the last 25 years." (Suzy Menkes)

"And I am curious to see what is happening five years from now" (Brooke Hodge, curator of Architecture and design at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles)
