The Apple doesn't Fall far from the Tree

It's a family thing; Architecture is Fashion's older cousin. But for me it is hard to play favorites.

Fashion has definitely learned a lot from architecture, I mean how could it not? Before rags became couture, we were building architecture in sheets!

Consider architecture and fashion, they are both in the Design Family and this family is known for the statements it makes. Whether it is with brick, steel, silk or cotton 'The Designers' create the business of style. Each has different markets, but at times preferences overlap. With the help of technological innovations, commercialization and globalization both have enjoyed increased popularity in everyday culture.

But who pushes each other more, the designers or the patrons? Who creates the change? Or, better yet, how does the change come about? Because at the end of the day designers have to worry if there is a market for their designs and though there may be buyer for every market there is not always a profitable market for every prospect.
