UPDATE: apologies, United Nude founder Rem D Koolhaas, also an architect, is in fact the nephew of Rem Koolhaas of OMA (thnx Dory ; )

Dutch architect Rem D Koolhaas broke into the world of fashion in 2003 as a result of a failing relationship … from the site “This story begins with a broken heart. Rem’s attempt to get the girl back was made by downsizing architecture to its smallest and most vulnerable scale, that of a woman’s foot. While most romantic notions are often foolish, what was hatched through the inspiration of romance was the ‘Möbius’ shoe. The girl was gone, but he knew the shoe had to become real.”

London based, Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen‘s Radiation Invitation is amazing. See more of her work here.

Squaring the Square is Lisa Shahno’s 2009 Collection, based on rectangular pieces of various length and width ranging from rectangles to squares sewn together and bonded in different order. The Collection won a Createurope: Fashion Design Award. Some crazy work on Behance too.

Australian based We Are Handsome is a collaboration between Indhra Chagoury and Jeremy Somers : “Each piece is made by hand, with the finest quality Italian Lycra, printed with high density inks using a placement sublimation process which is tedious to say the least … Each of our designs is limited edition and designed by our in-house artist”.
