HUSSEIN CHALAYAN: A NEW FUTURISTIC EMANATION

More than fashion. According to Hussein Chalayan the boundary between fashion and art is vague and in constant motion. His collections and fashion shows are always in the middle between show and installation and no one has ever questioned the role of the designer and the fashion like him . Eternally dialectic and with a continuous antithetical clash, his poetry can subvert the usual rules of consumption, while bending the production flow of appreciation. To Chalayan fashion is a syncretism of different disciplines, from anthropology to science, and his collections are always inspired by new technologies and by his personal approach to them. When he presented his first collection, The Tangent Flows, in 1993, his position on the world of fashion became immediately clear. The project was to bury silk dresses and dig them up a few months later. The outcome was really unpleasant, but the provocation had as a result that Brown, the luxury boutique in London, bought the entire collection. In 2009, with the collection Inertia, Chalayan applied the concepts of speed and new technologies to the garments. In the 2011 collection, Airborne, he used the LED technology to create stunning light shows on the catwalk.

Thanks to Chalayan, a new flow continues to increase, a new futuristic emanation spreads, a new window on fashion is now open to the world and to the feelings of modern man.
