Highlighting fashion one more time this week (take a look at An Architect’s Dress Code) we wanted to share with you this Le Corbusier inspired design. Taking a nod from one of architecture’s greats the Corneliani man for Fall/Winter 2011 is an interpretation of the Swiss architect and designer Le Corbusier’s timeless elegance and the ‘talking jacket’. Setting a scene reminiscent of a 1940s movie set the Italian brand’s new collection is described as ‘a suit with peak lapels, a soft, enveloping, deconstructed overcoat, thick glasses and a bow tie symbolise with an eccentric touch a sophisticated and relaxed chic.’
Sorry, but people who dress like that get beaten up.
Terrible. That is not the dress of an architect. More like a bad Charlie Chaplin comedian.
And since when are architects categorized by their dress; we are all different just like the buildings we create.
Nice to see how blatantly sexist the idea of fashion for architects is. It is 2011 and in this day and age there are female architects!
Nice to see people will read “Fashion and Architecture” as “fashion for architects.” Next time I find a book about “Women and Architecture” I’ll be sure to read it as “women for architects” and be equally offended.
