zaha hadid
Zaha Hadid has been an inspiration for quite some time. The Iraqi-born british architect is the first woman to win the Pritzker prize architectural award (2004). One of the most chic, dynamic, and forceful architects today, her work transcends into all worlds design-related with an international body of work that is never short of futuristic movement and integrity. Her buildings move with force, yet never leave its form without a smooth and sophisticated edge.

On Zaha Hadid collaborations, both in fashion and design:
“The relationship between fashion and architecture is not a particularly oblique one. Both are based on structure, shape and prettying up basic necessities – clothes and shelter. The relationship between fashion and architects is less discussed. Yet even a glance at your garden-variety modern architect proves this is a group who are just as style-conscious as fashion designers.”
