Fashion from an architectural perspective: Myrto Dramountani’s SS14 Collection

For Myrto Dramountani, fashion and architecture have a lot in common, as we make clothes for the same reason that we build a house: we seek shelter through the use of geometric designs. Both our clothes and the spaces that we live in offer protection, generate feelings and need us in order to be used. Hence, for Myrto Dramountani – a Fashion Designer and Architect herself – the process by which a dress is made can be defined using metaphors of architectural construction. Fashion design and architecture share many similar techniques and even vocabulary: pinning, darting, folding, wrapping, draping, and cutting. Therefore, her designs are always influenced from architecture – she even uses architectural design software in order to create them. Her goal is to cover, but also to reveal the body in a structural way.

The inspiration for her collections is the fabric itself, which she approaches as a three-dimensional surface. The laser cut patterns create visual illusions and give spatial properties to her designs. This approach is achieved by using the latest computational design techniques and digital fabrication technology.
