Fashion Runway

spring 2014

The prompt of this project was to develop a series of models that contained discernible spatial, structural, and organizational logics based upon continuous and modulated surface development. These models were the point of departure for the development of a “pop-up” fashion runway for use within an existing storefront during Los Angeles Fashion Week. When thinking of a surface that could be easily manipulated, fabric immediately came to mind, especially given the programmatic context. I created spaces by pulling two pieces of fabric through adjacent openings and connecting them at a single point.  This allowed for a variety of public and private spaces that offered all the necessary functions of a runway: circulation, seating, changing rooms, an exclusive viewing area, and most importantly, the catwalk..
