A quarter of a century spans the collaboration between the family business and fashion specialist Weinberg and the designer-architect couple Trix + Robert Haussmann. They worked together on the design of the Weinberg shops on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse and on commissions for the fashion labels Weinberg represented, including Lanvin and Courrèges, for which they developed atmospheric, cunningly innovative shop concepts in the spirit of the Haussmanns' “critical mannerism.” Through plans, drawings and architectural photographs, the book looks back on the six collaborations, which in the publication year 2015 marked their twentieth anniversary. Richly illustrated with press clippings and company brochures, it is at once a fashion, graphic and architecture book, capturing the zeitgeist and foregrounding an ironic, illusionistic Swiss modernism beyond strict “Good Form.”
