When architect Rem Koolhaas and his research studio, AMO, are involved in anything it’s going to be good. Case in point: the set for Prada’s debut menswear collection.
An integral part of any fashion show is the atmosphere — set design, music, energy. What unfolded was a series of abstract spaces, four rooms clad in unsuspectingly intriguing materials. Walls and floors were awash with resin, faux fur, green-veined marble and plaster — essentially a mad hatter’s wet dream.
And in a happy ending to the fantastical fairytale, the materials will be upcycled and repurposed for Prada product displays and pop-ups.
Check out the show space in 3D for one hell of a trippy ride, sans the hallucinogenics. Forget behind-the-scenes, get in the scenes.

Artist-run space RM presents a new exhibition by Daniel John Corbett Sanders, Urban Nothing, on until Saturday 13 February in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. We sit down with Daniel to find out more about the exhibition and their plans for the months ahead.
We are deep in the midst of a fabric revolution: materials are made from plastics, oranges, mushrooms, and even kombucha (!)
Create a home with character, a space that epitomises the complexities of you.
With all the advances in the sustainable fashion space, it is rare to come across an idea that is so translatable, so scalable, that it might just work.
We talk to Pete Hellyer, founder and creative director of new selvedge denim brand, Non.
