[geekbonchic]

Thanks Phrost. This has easily been one of the best threads in superfashion in quite a while.

hey phrost i hope you dont mind, i dont know where you got these from but i blogged them on a friends blog!!

sooo mind blowing and excited to see these!!

[Guest Phrost]

yes hussein deserves more recognition. does your mom own anything from him

[danga]

I think these are pictures from the HC website.

There is currently an exhibition of his work in London http://www.designmuseum.org/exhibitions/2009/hussein-chalayan. More creative and intelligent than most of the shit out there, he definately deserves more attention than he gets.

how about a nsfw

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

^^ your fault.

anyways, I was skeptical about the 'post of the month' function, but dayammmmm phrost, really blew it out of the park.

I would like to see some sort of interview with Chalayan regarding his '98 s/s collection between if only to ask if specific events led to the obvious similarities to the burkha of Islamic origins popping up, or if it was the general trend towards worldwide fear of terrorism that he sought fit to comment upon.

I tried search wikipedia for some specific event in mid to late '97, but no go.

fucking amazing stuff. I've seen the airplane dress in person in london its so clean and pleasing to the eye.

I love the semi-naked models in the headscarves as well, and some of the geometric shapes pieces. Amazing designs. St. Martins is defiantly one of the best fashion colleges in the world. +rep

seen these pics soooo many times but yet it still amazes me some of the stuff he comes/came up with.

[tweeds]

the design museum retrospective is also notable because of the huge amount of video material they've managed to show. really enjoyed seeing some of his short films, including 'place to passage' (2003). chalayan applying himself to different media, with startling results.

would love to see his FW02 collection 'ambimorphous' - the single photostrip of selected looks really piqued my interest.

as limited as (obviously) a mere list of titles is...i think one really sees the chalayan concerns and motifs coming out when you observe the titles in their entirety. likewise an entire retrospective of his work.

I think I saw a lady wearing this outfit on spring street yesterday. So hot right now...

[mike lowrey]

looking at all of his work.. I cant help but to wonder how his mens wear can be so utterly mediocre and dull. why does he even bother to do it?
