World of Calvin Klein THE HOUSE © Shinichi Ogawa & Associates
Calvin Klein Tokyo Glass House is a very special showroom, tailored for CK by architect Schinichi Ogawa, that blends elements of architecture, fashion and reality TV. Born in 1955 in Zhoudong Town, Iwaki City, Shinichi Ogawa is a well-known contemporary architect who graduated from the Faculty of Arts of Nihon University and studied architecture at Washington State University. Shinichi Ogawa pursues a minimalist design style by integrating Eastern and Western design concepts.
The biggest challenge of this unique exhibition hall is how to create a feeling that is different from traditional fashion shows, making it an installation that can change its function at any time. The building is presented as a very simple box shape, the space division is also extremely simple, each area has a different display function, especially the model's clothing in it is very eye-catching, or sexy, or casual. Because in this simple and transparent building, there is no privacy at all, so that people standing outside and looking inward have a feeling of "peeping". You can see people chatting in the bedroom, or in the bathroom, and these are all public displays.
