Trivia Question #5 Answer = B, COCO CHANEL

What does this have to do with architecture? In my personal opinion, there are many design principles which cross the boundaries of many disciplines. I find my personal inspiration can come from fashion design as I find that it must be proportional, can fall apart if the materials are wrong, color can be important (or a lack of it) it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
