    Summary note
    • "The Fashion of Architecture is the first attempt to investigate the contemporary relationship between architecture and fashion in considerable depth by examining the ideas, imagery, techniques and materials used by visionaries such as Martin Margiela, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Tadao Ando and Daniel Libeskind.
    • As mavericks ranging from Hussein Chalayan and Rei Kawakuboto to Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid describe architecture's role in the formation of fashion identities, new readings of both areas emerge. Probing and far-reaching in its content, The Fashion of Architecture is the most comprehensive study of this exciting area to date."--Jacket
