Design in Fashion

Italian studio AquiliAlberg created angular scenography for fashion designer Neil Barrett’s catwalk show in Milan recently

This was the first time the designer chose to collaborate with the Milan-based architectural and design studio. The Neil Barrett AW10 collection highlights the designer’s specific style by cutting garments up and splicing them together in new ways, horizontally, vertically and from back to front .Set against the sculptural backdrop, the collection is also a nod to the myriad ways that architecture influences dress.

AquiliAlberg’s installation is, according to the designers, a variation on the design studio’s work for “The Fragile City” exhibition at Triennale di Milano. “A series of sliced surfaces generate a complex, yet controlled volume, obtained through three-dimensional digitalisation.

“The configuration gives the sculpture character, and wraparound lines create multi-faceted volume. Individual perception of the space, which has a kaleidoscope feel, differs according to physical position. This search for spatial complexity has its roots in Optical Art. Neil Barrett has always been fascinated and inspired by architecture, interiors and the crossover between these areas and fashion. In 2008 he opened his Concept Flagship Store in Tokyo, Japan, using architectural curves and layers.”
