Having cultivated an interest in the relationship between fashion and architecture for years, fashion aficionada ELYSSA DA CRUZ took it upon herself to probe this hotly debated topic (page 68). “My interest in architecture has to do with how I see fashion as a form of sculpture.” With a degree in fashion theory from FIT, she keeps her hands full by writing for Zink, Selvedge, and Elle Canada, lecturing on fashion theory, and co-authoring two books. Her latest offering, Fashioning Fabrics: Contemporary Textiles in Fashion, was released last month.
