Creative Café features architecture series No 3
Clothes which tell a story- architecture and fashion

It is often said that Fashion is a mirror which reflects the age. But what does that really mean? First, we may notice the designs incorporating colours, styles and proportions based on global trends and target marketing. On the other hand, Japan has globally leading technological capabilities in the technology of materials which contribute to continuously evolving designs of form and function. In the current Information Society, we have entered an age where superb technology is not enough to create fashion; art which communicates creativity is also indispensible.
In this session, using examples of Gianfranco Ferre, Paco Rabanne, and other architects who have studied fashion, I would like to talk about the issue of fashion and architecture from the broad concept to the deeper meanings.
