Top 10 fashion multi-taskers
"Hairywood' is the first leap into architectural art by Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, the husband and wife duo behind Brit fash label, Eley Kishimoto. Fittingly, for a pair renowned for bright Crayola brush strokes and pretty, little girly silhouettes, their installation mirrors their obsession with youthful beauty. Inspired by the fairytale Rapunzel and her long, blonde tresses, Hairywood is a six-meter tower you can climb to escape from the hubbub of central London. Located in Covent Garden's Piazza, it is in fact part of the Skin+Bones exhibition at Somerset House, which sets out to explore the relationship between fashion and architecture. As talented textile and clothing designers whose work plays with space and wobbly lines, Eley Kishimoto prove there is indeed a link. Hairywood in Covent Garden Piazza, until 20 July.
