Editorial Reviews
Review
"We've always admitted the links between car design and architecture, but buildings and fashion? It takes some bravery to talk of fashion in terms beyond superficial styling to clothing design innovations in the same breath as an architectural legend, but in doing so Quinn proves that the two disciplines are intertwined in more ways than we might think. The Fashion of Architecture reveals congruencies that many (in both industries) might prefer to ignore... to their peril."--Henrietta Thompson, Editor, Blueprint
"Bradley Quinn traces the structures and spatial boundaries that are the common guidelines of fashion designers and architects and succeeds in pinpointing the similarities and differences these creative fields have gone through in the last century. The Fashion of Architecture is an accurate and detailed account of their mutual influences."--Boris Moshkovits, Berliner Magazine
'Bradley Quinn has written an original and insightful study of what is often a murky subject, superficially handled--the productive dialogue of fashion, art, and architecture. Larger thematic discussions alternate with fascinating case studies of individual designers, artists, architects--even department stores, to provide a host of new observations and genuine connections that were, until now, quiteobscure. The book is intended for a general readership, and should also serve well audiences in cultural studies, design, art and architecture."--Susan Sidlauskas, University of Pennsylvania
