Fashion and Minimalism

Minimalism as a style when started was seen not only in architecture but also in various other feilds such as music, theatre, literature,graphics and also in fashion.

some fashion designers adapted the principles in their design and some used architecture, especially designers practicing minimalistic architecture to design their showrooms.

The top brands such as GIORGIO ARMANI's intrest in the work of claudio silverstrin who has a minimalistic style that is elegant and soulful, executed with clarity of mind, creative ingenuity, and a concern for details made him the choice for the designing their showrooms thus making their architectural image not just minimalistic but strive for timeless elegance which is also the style of the brand. the usage of limestone and ebony as the main materials the architect acheives this is the series of stores designed for them.

The other brands who also showed this kind of intrest were CALVIN KLEIN with claudio silverstrin and minimalistic design master john pawson and ISSEY MIYAKE in shiro kuramata and most recently HERMES with shigeru ban for their pavillion design.
