Achitecturally Chic

From Milan, San Francisco, to Toronto, it has become more evident that fashion and architecture have created a beautiful union. The fusion of both elements allow designers to experiment with complex and unique forms, with jewelry, shoes, and even the runway stages. All of which is taking fashion to a whole new and exciting level.

Prada Catwalk

Prada partnered with OMA (Artchitect: Rem Koolhaas) and created the ultimate fashion experience on the runway. Inspired by shifting geometrical forms, the audience is able to perceive the catwalk at different vantage points. Each collaboration between Prada and OMA, creates a fresh new experience for the spectator, and seeks to determine how both environments influence each other.
