“I have always been interested in fashion as an informing design discipline: proportion structure, detail, materiality, texture, color and quality. With a heightened interest in, and an awareness of the built environment, the 'store' has become a critical, perceptual and psychological component of merchandising as well as imaging. Architecture and fashion are partners.” WellsInterestQualityEnvironmentAwarenessFashionDesignColorDisciplineBuiltStructureDetailsCriticalStoresArchitecturePartnersPsychologicalProportionComponentsTextureInformingImagingMaterialityMerchandisingBuilt Environment Author:Charles Gwathmey
“While the fashion industry may, at least at the top end, be thriving, the notion of fashion itself is becoming more and more meaningless. Any discipline in fashion has long since evaporated; the idea of a single fashionable skirt length, or heel height, is incomprehensible. The definition of the fashionable has become so skimpy that it refers not to the mode of dress of everyday people--the clothes that have sufficiently caught the popular imagination to be worn in a widespread manner--but only to the styles that momentarily excite members of the fashion caravan.” PeopleMayLongIdeasEndsImaginationFashionStyleIndustryBecomingDisciplineMembersClothesDressesNotionEverydayCaughtDefinitionsHeightLengthMeaninglessHeelsWornFashionableSkirtsBecoming MoreFashion IndustryCaravans Author:Rebecca Mead
“And I'm the first one to tell people to break the rules. But you can only break the rules once you know what the rules are.

“Becoming people of integrity and honesty does not occur quickly or all at once, nor is it merely a matter of greater personal discipline. It is a change of disposition, a change of heart.

“Of course there is a lot of fluidity now between art, architecture and fashion - a lot more cross-pollination in the disciplines, but this isn't about competition, it's about collaboration and what these practices and processes can contribute to one another.” ArtCoursesProcessPracticeFashionDisciplineCrossesCompetitionArchitectureCollaborationFluidityPollination Author:Zaha Hadid
