Manifest Destiny collection, Spring/Summer 2003 Through this collection Chalayan expresses symbolism through the elasticity of the fabrics expressing the liberation of the body from Western Traditions. There is a loose element portrayed as a body with no inhibitions and a step further to actually seeing the body through holes in the garment.
BTW: Saw this and fell in love! This definetly inspired me.
One Hundred and Eleven collection, Spring/Summer 2007. A series of garments throughout time influenced by the surrounding events such as wars, revolutions etc. The finale? an instant explosion. Garments that change from one era to another by the use of mechanical components within the dresses.
