pubs.rights-statement	Fashion and architecture can be shown to share formal correspondences regarding form in relation to the body and space. This is evidenced, for example, in the oeuvre of Lucy Orta and exhibitions such as Skin + Bones (MOCA, 2006). Louise Crewe (2010) and Bradley Quinn (2003) have explored these correspondences in text, while current practices including the Jorge Alaya Aatelier School in Paris, and the fashion designer, Iris Van Herpen, demonstrate innovation in form made possible through experimentation involving hybrid traditional and digital methods in both disciplines. The research question addressed by this project is: how can the form of garments be innovated using hybrid approaches from fashion and architecture practice? The use of architectural digital modelling software such as Rhino, is only recently being explored in the context of fashion design. Experimentation with digital modelling and traditional pattern cutting techniques develop a new, hybrid method for making garments. The resulting garments exlore how abtracted, spatial properties can be used by designers when creating garments. Spatial flexibility is represented in the exhibition installation, which involves two forms of the same garment expressed differently. The exhibition included other objects used in the hybrid process to develop these garment forms, including paper patterns, printed fabric images and sculptural models. Presented at No VACANCY Gallery, a Melbourne exhibition space that supports emerging and experimental artistic work, the exhibition (12-22 March 2014) was part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program, an annual curated festival which includes a substantial cultural program supporting the diversity of fashion practices in Australia.	en_US
