When it comes to art, I am usually a fan of the interesting and ground-breaking. Fashion is no exception to this.. So when introduced to the works of designer Hussein Chalayan, I was naturally intrigued.
The man’s work is amazing. Not only does has he proved himself as a solid designer, but he strives to take his work further to even greater artistic heights. Chalayan’s designs are a commentary on our society, issues he sees, and his visions for the future. I consider the man nothing short of a futurist visionary.
Fashion-wise, his work breaks ground in terms of form & function. Sending mechanized dresses down the catwalk, his designs this season are ultra-modern and very technologically advanced, all the while looking very stylish. One minidress flashed with panels reminiscent of oversized pixels.
Another model sported a translucent, web-like hood that raised and lowered by itself. Personally, my favourites were the girls wearing luminescent hats. They look like jellyfish.
So, next time I plan to write more on futurism. No more of this week-long hiatus nonsense. Over and out!
