Even though coverage of this is going to be everywhere I had to post about Hussein Chalayan's presentation of his Spring/Summer collection as a short film, instead of a runway show. It may not be everyone's cup of tea...especially the soundtrack...but I loved it. To be able to follow the process step-by-step...to hear Chalayan, in his own words, discuss the ideas behind the collection...snippets from the shoot...all culminating in the film itself is a real treat.
And it's not all pretentious twaddle either, the clothes are gorgeous. As Chalayan, somewhat comfortingly, says, "at the end of the day, no matter what you say, we're trying to make beautiful clothes'. Considering some of the pieces that hit the catwalks recently that is a truly novel concept.
