Fashion meets architecture

British architect Graham Hudson has collaborated with New York designer Patrik Ervell on a pop up concept store.
Looking more like a construction site than a fashion boutique, this is the third project and a continuing collaboration between artists and designers, as part of the Boffo Building Fashion initiative. Amid crumbling walls and clothing displays made from rubble, the temporary shop is stocked with mostly menswear, including waxed cotton bomber jackets and embroidered sweaters. The shop will also sell women’s flower-print jeans and tuxedo blazers with hand-painted silk lapels.
Boffo Building Fashion celebrates cutting edge design through a series of temporary retail installations. Fashion designers submit a creative brief outlining the desired concept for their collaboration. Architects with built portfolios are invited to submit design proposals for the fashion designer of their choice. Each fashion designer was presented with three - five nominations of qualified design proposals, chosen by a jury compiled by Boffo, Architizer and industry professionals.
The Patrik Ervell pop up shop is open until Nov. 2.
