Architectural Influences on Fashion Nowadays, fashion designers are looking at architecture for inspration. Clean lines, structure, and sharp-edged angles are being incorporated into many of today’s fashions. Many of the color palettes being shown for Fall/Winter mirror the colors associated with the city. Palettes of grays, are influenced by the sleek bulidings, and lots of black are influenced by the color of asphalt. These colors are often contrasted by blue, which draws inspiration from the color of the sky. Yeohlee’s Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection also incorporated geometric shapes and angles. A darker palette of blue, black, and gray brought a sophisticated and urban edge.

Unconventional Cuts Unconventional Cut- very different from
the things that are used or accepted by most people; not traditional or usual and not conventional. Architecture’s inspiration is certainly not limited to apparel because time is only moving forward. Several years ago, Frank Gehry collaborated with tiffany & Co. and launch a jewelry collection. pieces range from the clean, elegant, and modern Torque bangle to the flux earrings, which are simple, organic, and thoroughly modern.
