VEA Studio
Fashion and Architecture are based on basic life necessities – clothing and shelter. However, they are also forms of self-expression for both creators and consumers. Fashion and architecture express ideas of personal, social and cultural identity, reflecting the concerns of the user and the ambition of the age. Their relationship is a symbiotic one and throughout history, clothing and buildings have echoed each other in form and appearance. Our collection is depicting a reflection of an architect’s mentality to fashion design. It is the result of research exploring the possibilities that lie in the implementation of architectural methodologies in fashion design through the material, digital fabrication technique, and geometric experimentation.
