BOFFO Building Fashion Competition

BOFFO Building Fashion pairs fashion designers with architects in an installation series exploring the intersection of architecture and fashion through integrated store and exhibition design. With five installations, a storefront in Tribeca will be reappropriated providing a unique glimpse into the work of vibrant and acclaimed designers. The second annual installation series of fashion and architecture aims to once again push the limits of temporary architecture and the language of retail design. The collaborations provide the platform for experimentation in the synthesis of brand identity and the realization of a physical space. Each installation reappropriates the project space providing a unique glimpse into the vibrant work of the next generation of fashion designers and architects. This year’s location is in the premiere shopping district of Tribeca, New York.

Our goal is to present Art and Design to the public through exhibitions and events while creating opportunities for artists and designers to explore a subject matter that educates and informs. BOFFO uses temporary locations, constantly moving, redefining both physical and theoretical parameters, and challenging its artists with new opportunities. Every location invites a different audience to participate in BOFFO’s activities, giving each event a unique, environment-specific, characteristic. www.boffo-ny.org.
