Skin and bones

Whether it is fashion that draws off architecture or the other way round – architects who follow in the footsteps of fashion designers – is of little importance. What “Skin and Bones”, the exhibition curated by Brooke Hodge at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (running from 19 November to 5 March) aims to underline is the close relationship between the two fields that has been created over the last 25 years.

The value of solidity

Riva1920 creates solid wood furniture using certified or reclaimed materials, combining sustainability, high-quality craftsmanship, and timeless design. An Italian excellence focused on durability, transparency, and authenticity.

Whether it is fashion that draws off architecture or the other way round – architects who follow in the footsteps of fashion designers – is of little importance. What “Skin and Bones”, the exhibition curated by Brooke Hodge at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (running from 19 November to 5 March) aims to underline is the close relationship between the two fields that has been created over the last 25 years: a process of continual and profitable exchange that has brought about radical changes in the methods and techniques of both.

Architectural vocabulary, for example, has been enriched with new terms (such as cutting, sewing, folding, draping...) and the lines of buildings have become more fluid. Increasingly sophisticated garments and growing structural complexity have come down from the catwalks and started to circulate around the city streets.

Describing the steps of this long journey, the exhibition shows work by 46 architects and fashion designers such as Hussein Chalayan, Martin Margiela, Shigeru Ban, Foreign Office Architects, Future Systems and SANAA. E.S.
