Since the architecture and the architects came into Vogue, fashion, u turn, turned to architecture. Architects have become international stars, knows them in the face with the General public and their buildings are discussed on the pages of glossy magazines. And the designers are trying to maintain their artistic ideas through a more practical and reliable than the dress, the architectural idea.

The mere fact that the architectural celebrity of this magnitude from season to season creates the set design for the shows of Prada and Miu Miu, each time getting more and more elaborate architecture, was the signal throughout the fashion community.
And last year, the process has become an avalanche character. In spring 2015, Dior chose to show its cruise collection for a surreal construction of the mid 1970-ies, the Palace of bubbles Hungarian architect Antti Lovage. The building, resembling a giant octopus or a giant space ship, is located on the French Riviera, near Cannes, it isn't strange for customers Dior. Models walked as along the insides of that sea monster in the background are upholstered in pinkish wood of steles and oval porthole Windows, through which was seen the silvery surface of the sea. It is interesting that for many years the Villa was owned by Pierre Cardin, who started the quarry) in the House of Christian Dior. Duvenstedeter designer was present at the show, which added a romantic flair to the event.
Literally in the same days another architectural name, however, louder than the last, was made public by another giant of fashions. Brand Louis Vuitton to show cruise collection chose a mansion in palm springs, built by John Lautner for the family of Bob and Dolores hope in the same style of the 1970s.
The building resembling a giant cliff, which is cut out of the cave and the window looks like part of the landscape: the Idea is very popular in that era. Considering that California was the most fashionable place on the map of the 1970s, it is easy to guess, what exactly about them was the collection of Nicolas Ghesquière. Flowing lines, long skirts, leather dresses, ruffles and straps, zippers and Indian motifs, make up in the spirit of experimentation of David Bowie. The owners, the famous acting couple, had an eye for spectacular views and the house was created such that it has become an ideal platform for parties and the nature was part of the scenery. And the fact that the models walked the tracks along the pool, as if appearing from the rock, looked like a Hollywood special effect.
