Abstract
The safdie jacket and dress were inspired by Canadian architect Moshe Safdie’s Habitat 67. Habitat 67 is an experimental housing complex that Safdie designed for the 1967 World Exhibition in Montreal (Baker, 1997). The building features interlocking housing units and clear covered pathways and was envisioned with the themes of progress and technology that were central to the exhibition (Corbeil, 1985).
