Chalayan's unique style has been copied by others, here Lady Gaga wears a copy of the original made by another designer!!! Chalayans was first shown on the runway in 2007...
Chalayan is now known as "a true now-ist (more than a modernist). He is excited by science, fascinated by world politics, and recognizes the fact that the way we dress is a reaction to the times we live in. Since 9/11, fashion's response to reality has been to hide in the past. Now that mood is lifting, and Chalayan, like Nicolas Ghesquière, is right to be bringing us face to face with something that is, too sloppily, being dubbed "futurism."
This is a new designer who is looking into similiar (and probably more in depth) concepts that i am, he is looking more into the materials we use whereas i am looking into the use of smart dyes! Here are some more examples of his work that i fins inspirational....
"This was fashion addressing the subject of fashion, a dissection of our contemporary habit of recycling "vintage," and an embrace of high technology, all at the same time."
I really like the geometric shapes created here and i think i may have ago at exploring geometric patterns rather than organic ones all of the time. I need to change a little just to explore what can be done in different ways!!
