This paper describes and state the relationship between architecture and fashion, as both disciplines respond to the culture and environment of individuals and societies. Very often fashion designers were inspired by architecture, but also architects were inspired from the fashion creations. Very often, designers in their fashion pieces reflect the architectural constructions. The aim of this work is architecture, an art that, like fashion, is the fruit of creativity. More precise, the architecture is used as inspiration for creating two fashion models. The basic construction of a dress is used and then with use of modeling, the pattern pieces are created. With these models women's fashion is bring closer to and shows the connection with architecture. At the end we get the conclusion that both, the fashion and architecture, in the past and in the future, remain two arts that are connected through creativity, inspiration, technology and human imagination.

Baher Ismail Farahat Beirut Arab University – Beirut – Lebanon ABSTRACT This research describes the nature of the relationship between fashion and architectural design. The most logical relationship is that both fashion and architecture provides a shelter for people in different social dimensions. Both fields passed through several era were design transits from the complexity to the modernity and simplicity of design. On the other hand, there are many similarities in materials characteristics although both fields use totally different martial on different scale. In addition, there are many examples that show the effect of one field on the other one. Many architects are inspired by a garment to design a building and it is the same in the other way round. So this study explores if these two fields have any effect on each other. so how these effects are reflected at the end.

Abstract The social need for expression in this new age especially in the field of architecture has seen some recent development; although architecture and fashion seem to be independent of one other, architecture deals with the constructed environment while fashion is the motivating factor behind the dress making business . It has been discovered that fashion is a robust way of expressing one’s culture and identity. A study of the connection between fashion and architecture would be investigated in this research thereby a number of points would be drawn out linking both fashion and architecture together in this post-modern era. This research will create new ways for this method in design. Through the study on deconstruction of modern architecture it is important to test its dominant effect over modern-day architecture. An argument would be established from the research based onto what extent the relationship between fashion and architecture has affected each other and in what kind of pathways has the effects benefitted the users Studying precedent literatures on topics of modernism, a number of views would be looked into and a case study analysis would be carried out to finalise the methodology. Architecture and fashion developments would be studied and compared with modern day architecture so as to suggest areas for commendation of this proposed method of design.

Throughout history, fashion and architecture have repeated each other in terms of form and appearance. It seems quite natural that they share not only their initial function, which is to provide shelter and protect human; but also show skills in creating space and volume beyond the two-dimensional plates and materials. In recent years, the relationship between clothing design and architecture has become more significant. Computer tools and software have changed the borders of designing each one. Buildings are more fluid and clothes are more architectural. The architectural alphabet in fashion from one hand, and on the other hand the fashion ideas and methods used in architecture as well as experiencing similar themes in both domains are among the features of these arts. The exploitation of such common points among the two areas challenges the conventional ideas and pre-defined concepts of design, putting forward new solutions and experiences for designers. In this research, some of these common ideas have been studied and how these ideas are linked within both of these domains. The method of this research is descriptive and analytical; and data are collected from documents and research materials including books, articles, photos and electronic resources. This research seeks the common ideas in architecture and fashion and their mutual interaction with each other and provides some examples in both arts. The results of this research show that architecture has an effective role in shaping fashion and the attitude to the clothing design.

Italian Style: on Law, Architecture and Design “Made in Italy” Giovanni Marini, Università degli Studi di Perugia Italian design, including interior design, urban design, fashion design and architectural design is recognized as being worldwide trendsetter. Italy today still exerts a vast influence worldwide. There were different trends in the 20s: a classical and a new one (“Rationalist”). After WWII, Italy had a true avant-guard moment. “When intellectuals lost their battle in 1948 and with it any chance to change land law and re-organize society, architects turned their attention to the object, the object conveyed meaning and showed direction.” In the 60s and 70s, Italian interior design reached its pinnacle (“Bel Design and Linea Italiana”). In MoMA New York, Emilio Ambasz organized an exhibit Italy, The New Domestic Landscape Achievements and Problems of Italian Design. In 1968, it developed an interesting trend (“radical design”) which opposed to the product design and mainstream “buon gusto.” The MoMA exhibit was also the end of Italian polycentric design, which focuses mainly on furniture (Italian) design. Modern interior design has changed the meaning of style and elegance, and many interior designers use Italian or Italian-inspired style in their work. The essay will analyze the birth and developments of the Italian style and its relationship to architectural trends in the globalization process, and with the ongoing transformation of capitalism and economic system. Fashion Made in Italy: Tradition, Protection and a Look into a Sustainable Future Barbara Pozzo, Università degli Studi dell’Insubria, Como The essay focuses on fashion and will cover five distinct areas. First, the measures that the Italian government has launched in recent years to protect “traditional Italian brands.” Second, the various initiatives of certification and labeling in order to protect “made in Italy” fashion products. Third, the “made in Italy” label and the enormous problem of counterfeiting. Fourth, the use of Blockchain as a strategy for the protection of “made in Italy” products. Fifth, how sustainability is, or should become, a part of the “made in Italy” paradigm. Culturally Identifiable Fashion: what role for GI’s? Janewa Osei-Tutu, Florida International University College of Law Geographical indications (GI’s) are a specialized form of intellectual property right. A GI is used when some quality, characteristic, or reputation of a good is attributable to its geographic origin. To the extent that geographic location and culture overlap, GI’s could be described as a form of cultural protection. Italy, which is known for both its food and fashion, has GI’s for a range of items, such as extra virgin olive oils, pastas, and wines. But, what is the role of GI’s when it comes to other aspects of culture, such as fashion? For example, the famous Italian designer, Valentino, received both praise and criticism for footwear modeled on royal sandals from Ghana. To what extent can GI’s be used as a form of cultural protection that extends beyond food and wines to protect culturally identifiable fashion items

TThese research inquiries into the transformation of complex architectural spatial objects into contemporary garments by implementing creative pattern cutting as an integrated part of the fashion design process. From the architecture design process, a creative process of generating ideas using the human body as the centre point of the creative process, and an understanding of the envelope around that space were implemented and researched in fashion design. A creative construction method evolved using the standard matrix of basic blocks and implementation of the sculptural work by creating three-dimensional paper garment forms. In this way, garment design is created inside - outside. The resulting garment forms visually articulate meanings arising from the architectural design works of Maks Fabiani regarding structure, historical context, content from within the premises and personal sensory experiences. The envisaged results are highly applicable, but, with a theoretical significanc...

Fandoms have grown in size and influence, becoming a complex and dynamic cultural phenomenon that richly impacts the consumption of media and consumer behavior. The capitalistic United States with its diverse and media-savvy population, is a prime destination to study fan studies, particularly among young adults who are a crucial component of fandom influence.

The internet has grown to be a major component of the fan experience, an integral part of fandom culture. Online communities provide avenues for Generation Z to connect with others who share similar struggles, challenges, and interests, highlighting the importance of digital platofrms on the evolution of fandoms.

This qualitative methods study employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) phenomenology to explore how Generation Z individuals are socialized through their participation in pop culture and entertainment fandoms and how this socialization influences their purchase behavior of related merchandise. Recognizing the substantial purchasing power and cultural influence of Gen Z, this research aims to fill the gap in understanding the dynamics between fandom participation and consumer behavior among this demographic. Little research has been conducted on the overlap of merchandising research and fan studies, including the relationships of variables of fandom merchandise, socialization process, identity formation, and quality online interactions.

This study consisted of six in-depth in-person interviews with Gen Z college student participants. Based on the results of the literature review, 22 questions were developed to ask participants concerning fandoms and their experiences. This study addresses which elements of socialization young Gen Z adults encourage consumption of pop culture and entertainment merchandise.

The qualitative results indicate that fandom members are socialized to purchase pop culture and entertainment merchandise due to their benefits of identity and personal growth, a strong sense of community and belonging, timely emotional engagement ties, a sense of nostalgia and continuity, the transformative and rich experiences, and the considerable budgets spent on their fandom interests. Thus, individuals sought socialization mainly from friends concerning fandom support. The findings of this study demonstrate friends similar in age tend to be the largest socialization factor. Another key finding is the influence of effective and innovative marketing strategies to target Gen Z’s demographic.
