It should be, but it's a rare occasion that NYC support ingenuity. Best place to find good Chalayan stuff, ironically, is Century21. And don't get me started on that trash-pile of a store, Opening Ceremony.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

serious thanks for all the great throwback images (ie: this + CCP thread), I know a lot of the younger posters (myself included) have never seen this stuff before. I've always wanted to explore Chalayan's work more (guess I'm lazy and been waiting for you all to post this). I've taken him being a clever conceptualist as a given, but this is very enlightening.
Thanks!Originally posted by merzperhaps one day pipcleo will post a wywt so non-euclydian & eldrich in its shapes as to turn all onlookers into throngs of dishevelled, muttering idiots

SLEEK: Your career as a fashion designer was born with a funeral. For your degree show at St. Martins College you buried garments covered in iron filings underground, where they reacted with metal in a grave. Isn’t wearing a dress which has been buried and exhumed terribly morbid?
HC: Perhaps. However I buried the clothes in particular contexts, for that first time in connection with a story I invented. In it these magnetic dresses were made a mockery of by iron filings in a kind of performance, they were then kidnapped, killed and buried. I just wanted to illustrate the story: I even used excerpts from it on the labels in the clothes. Later I buried clothes in connection with a board game based on the Cartesian philosophy, that is about redemption and salvation, about jumping off heights to reach God, yet falling down and sinking into the mud. We also dipped them into mud, where they sank slowly and developed lives of their own. This is a great concern of mine, to give clothes a life of their own. After excavation they continue to live. They decompose, become rusty and thus receive an eternal life – which receives a new dimension on the body. However, the clothes I buried were never meant for wearing, although a few were washed and made wearable.Are you afraid of women, Doctor?
Of course.
