The Dastardly Dissertation

I'm nearing the end of my final dissertation which is a relief. It's about the connection between architecture and fashion, arguing that the influence of architecture can be more than aesthetic, with the integration of architectural theory within a garment. It more specifically concerns the human relationship to a home environment, and how this can be immitated within fashion, to provide comfort in uncomfortable situations, and an expansion of personal space whilst in transit, or in unfamiliar environments. Having found a chapter which pretty much sums up part of my research, I would like to say, Mr Bradley Quinn, there is no need to quake in your boots, mine will never live up to yours, but thanks for the inspiration.
The image is work of Hussein Chalayan, from his 'Between' Collection '98. I've included it in the private/ public space section of my dissertation, as the wooden pod, whilst completely concealing the model's face and head, still allows her to scrutinise of the outside world. Bit extreme but tis an interesting idea. I love Chalayan's work, think the meaning he puts into his collections is amazing, he always has something valid to say about contemporary culture. His ventriloquy collection is awesome.... sugar glass dresses, gradually destroyed by models themselves with teeenny hammers. Excellente.
