INTRODUCTION

In 2004 a new reality TV show called "Project Runway" began exploring interesting, though sometimes silly, fasion design ideas as a competitive, losers-go-home judged contest. In that first season, a contestent named Jay McCarroll designed a highlight piece that stuck in my mind for a long time -- a dress that instantly conveyed the idea of the building that was the designer's inspiration: the iconic Chrysler Building in Manhattan, NYC.

Now, 20 years later, I have used some CRAP (Computer Rendering Assistance Programs, what everyone else calls "AI text-to-image tools"), to create my own catalog of high fashion garments inspired by great buildings of the world. My personal favorites are in this story. Links to the entire collection for each inspiration building are included for you to explore. Drop me some likes or follow me if you like what you see.
