Architecture and fashion are very often linked, whether by shape, color, material inspirations or simply locale. As architects like Frank Gehry take inspiration from flowing fabrics and liquid motion, fashion designers also find motivation in the shapes, structural connections, and materials found in architecture.

Also, many great fashion editorials are shot around architecture. Below are some great examples I found (on trendhunter.com). Enjoy!
