For all you true fashionistas out there that genuinely appreciate the artistic vibes in couture and installation art: you MUST go see the Skin+Bones exhibition taking place at Somerset House this summer.

The renowned exhibit takes a serious look at the crazy connections between fashion and architecture since the 1980s, and – get this – completely sold out for its entire run in both Los Angeles and Tokyo.

Parallels between the two mediums are made in five different categories (patterns, geometry, construction, deconstruction and folding), and bring home the message that both fashion and architecture serve to “protect and shelter the body.” Over 200 works are scattered throughout the dark room, including breathtaking iconic garments, 3D architectural models, and actual film footage. My personal favourite was a video showing a Viktor and Rolfe show in which they dressed a model in no less than 9 beautiful layers of clothing. True, by the end she was hardly recognizable, but it was an impressive act!

While the exhibit really will be most appreciated by the very artsy indeed, one only has to love gorgeous, innovative clothes and mind-blowing building models to enjoy the hour. After all, with participating designers including wild child Alexander McQueen, fashion-technology genius Hussein Chalayan (remote control dress, anyone?), and ahead-of-the-fashion-curve Yoshi Yamamoto, you’re definitely in for a treat!
