This book explores the connections between fashion, textiles, space, and architecture, showcasing how these fields influence and inform each other in innovative ways.

In Performative Geometries, readers are taken on a visual journey that explores the intersections of fashion, textiles, space, and architecture.

The concept of fashion as a second skin is a central theme in Performative Geometries. Just as architecture adapts to the human body, fashion evolves based on its context and purpose. The book delves into how these two domains can inform and inspire one another, revealing techniques that fashion designers use which can be applied to spatial organization. This cross-disciplinary approach encourages readers to rethink traditional boundaries and consider how these elements coalesce in innovative ways.

Overall, Performative Geometries serves as both a scholarly resource and a visual feast, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the dynamic interplay between these fields.
