Dress Tents - When Fashion Becomes Architecture (GALLERY)
When Fashion Becomes Architecture
 Published: May 6, 07

Robin Lasser, a professor of Art at San Jose State University, has created dress tents by merging fashion and tents. The design is a combination between fashion, function, and arty fantasy.

 This project consists of wearable architecture and large-scale color photographs that merge the dress tent sculpture with its companion landscape constructing a fashion of place. The structures are designed to be shown in a gallery or museum as interactive installations, but are imbued with a nomadic legacy of being worn and installed in the landscape. Photographs document this legacy. Each piece of wearable architecture references specific body and land politics pertaining to the place and culture in which they are installed. Modes of female representation are addressed through the garment/structure. By referencing archetypes such as “housewife” in the Picnic Dress Tent, the dress tents push the prescriptive and fetishistic aspects of contemporary fashion toward new conclusions. (core77)
