HUSSEIN CHALAYAN ‘technology vs fashion’
magazine | issue one
CYPRUS
born Hussein Chalayan is a top fashion forward designer. He attended Central Saint Martins for fashion design. A year after graduating, he created his own company called, Cartesia Ltd and also created his own Ready-to-Wear line, Chalayan. Chalayan is known for its innovative, elegant, and fashion forward fashion creations. His inspirations come from all parts of the world; starting from film, nature, technology, to anthropology and the list goes on. His designs are artistically represented and come to life. They are intricate, thought-out and advanced. Fashion and technology have been closely linked together since the first traces of futuristic inventions were discovered. Since then, designers have made efforts to incorporate these details into fashion due to their fasciation of the new and upcoming trends. Today’s fashion shows have been more creative and forward than before. Chalayan’s dresses that
are embedded with technology are conceptual and very fashion forward. They take fashion to a new level and from experimenting with what technology has to offer, designers will be creating more innovative designs. Chalayan has a style that is uniquely recognizable. He’s incorporated tailoring, which he is also known for, draping and a touch of technology into his fashion shows. It has been said that his shows are a spectacle rather than your average and traditional one. We can definitely see his creativity linked with technology in a particular jaw dropping technique. His Spring 2007, Winter 2008 and Spring 2008 collections are all a paramount for his ingenious designs linked to technology. As we look into his Spring/Summer 2007 collection, we step into a lucid interpretation of chic, elegant women with a touch of futuristic elements. Aside from his lady-like creations, Chalayan incorporated 6 animatronic june | twenty fifteen
“If I had to define my philosophy, it would be about exploration, a journey, a story-telling” Chalayan
dresses for the runway. This futuristic idea was a showstopper. The first dress to appear was a beautiful Victorian inspired gown that had its collar zipped in the front and ruffles flowing as additional layers. As the model walks down the runway, you would not have imagined that this dress would have technology embedded into it. As she stops mid way, she pauses and stands there a moment or two before the magic happens. At first, you don’t fathom what the model will do next. As the dress starts to unravel, I think to myself, why would such an elegant dress start to move and detangle from its original form? But once it was transformed to its new look, I was amazed. The dress opens and reveals a shorter under layer detailed with dainty embellishments. Two looks into one, genius. Next comes a more modern look, a piece that stands out to me due to the connection with the sixties space glam. The dress itself is ahead of its time, and the music while its changing shape really do trigger a trip back to the retro age we all once knew. When she steps forward and stops, the magazine | issue one
dress instantly retracts its mid-length skirt that is separated into flaps. Each flap then shortens and another detail added of what looks like oversized shiny square shaped sequins. The mood, the music, and the theme of the show really correlate to his designs. Each thought out element helps engage the audience. Every detail was thoroughly put into its right place and created an atmosphere that was understood. This collection was beautifully done. With six amazing dresses that were fixed with technology, the show was beyond what you would expect. Despite the ongoing change in technology, I still look at this Chalayan’s Spring/Summer 2007 fashion show as a glimpse of a future design that we all could possibly wear. We are always finding ways to be ahead of our time especially in fashion. From retractable lapels to a dress morphing into another shape, we are eager to see new and innovative designs in the fashion industry. Chalayan continues to integrate technology into his next
two seasons, Fall/Winter 2007 and Spring/Summer 2008. The “Airborne” collection for Fall/Winter 2008 went an extra step from his previous show. You can find similar accessories from his last show of complex headpieces, sculptured dresses and LED lights set into the frocks. The show had a darker tone to it, dimmed lights and darker shades in the fabrics. The dark atmosphere combined with the LED lights and dark metallics really set the atmosphere for an eerie tone. The audience and myself included were anticipating this show because of how we were left with astonishment from his last. It starts as dramatic as it could be, a real but alluring concept of what looks like a mini tornado at the front of the catwalk appears and comes a model with her face hidden in darkness, all you can see is an LED dress floating down the catwalk. It lights up the room, which what almost resembles as a night-light that you had in your bedroom when you were a toddler. The use of xylophones played live truly contributes to the matrix vibe that I gather. Vests with LED lights, rose pattern metallic fabrics, leather leggings and black oversized coats grace the runway. This collection showcases more technology embedded designs unlike the one before.
Another season, another spectacle. His third consecutive show of fashion and technology frisk along the runway. His Spring/Summer 2008 collection brings looks that can definitely been seen off the runway. Typical trench coats, resilient fabrics, and abstract prints embrace each model. The looks that were anticipated were technology-tricked pieces. As Chalayan graced us with two shows of a mix of fashion and technology, it was only customary to expect another innovative piece to walk down the runway. There it was, three models dressed in beautiful dresses and a retro shaped hat with unexpected red lasers beaming off into every direction. You think to yourself that you should protect your retinas but can’t help to stare into the beams of light glowing in the dark light. And once again Chalayan brings excellence in fashion. Each show is a story; a big idea. The concept is about creating beautiful garments but incorporating a fashion twist. Chalayan successfully and continuously presents new innovations into his collections. june | twenty fifteen

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD ‘outrageous + original’w
magazine | issue one
VIVIENNE
Westwood is that fashion designer that we all know for wild, bizarre and exquisite designs. She has an undeniable lovable spunk about her that reflects vividly on her collections and fashion shows. Wild at heart, she stays true to herself. She’s always integrating the new wave of fashion and punk into her collections. Vivienne Westwood is the definition of a woman of girl power. In her recent Spring/Summer 2015 collection from
her Gold Label, we can see a wide variety of funk, seventies inspired pieces, and chic fabrics. The show opens with lights flickering on and off for a moment in time then on comes an eerie sound of what reminds you of a creepy dollhouse horror movie. In an instant, the models proceed onto the runway with disheveled appearances. They resemble a modern version of what a doll would look like through Westwood’s eyes. A first glimpse of the models, we can depict dolls from an old toy box, a raggedy Ann doll or even june | twenty fifteen
a bewildered little red riding hood. From over done rosy cheeks to extensive eyeliner and mascara, the models come off as a post-traumatic experience life size doll. The make up in contrast with the clothes almost don’t fit in well together but somehow, in the strangest way, it does. Vivienne Westwood always goes one step further than your average designer. We can find lady like silhouettes; Victorian inspired dresses and a new touch on punk linked with femininity. As the show starts out subtle, Westwood graces you with a model that is wearing a belted silk tartan patterned dress, a fish net sleeve that goes three quarters up the models arm and the ultimate twist; a handcrafted basket headpiece that’s embellished with preserved magazine | issue one
bunched leaves. Without a doubt, this was a head turner. To find an eclectic headpiece is one thing but to find a legitimate wicker basket was beyond my mind. There are feminine and chic rompers that have a train that gives us reminder of a picnic tablecloth. Tartan fabrics that were paired with unconventional accessories that make you question the theme. But nevertheless, a collection that is inspirational and spunky. There are a few looks that jump out at me, not because they are utterly bizarre but more contemporary and more in the category of Read-to-Wear. Both are in an exquisite off-cream color. One is embellished with
“Sometimes you need to transport your idea to an empty landscape and then populate it with fantastic looking people.” Westwood
feminine ruffles that accentuate the collar line and sleeves. This piece in her collection is slightly on the contemporary high fashion side than all her other pieces in this show but it wouldn’t be a Vivienne Westwood garment if it didn’t include a touch of punk. With this, she added an under layer of what looks like a fish net sleeve that peers out from the soft ruffles. To finish of the look she added an off cream synched headpiece and a face full of lipstick kisses; a look that simply shouts Vivienne Westwood. There is a graffiti like pattern on top of vertical stripes that reappear in different forms; a onesie, a t-shirt, a wrap, purse and a blanket or cape that a model is carrying past her. This specific fabric is the edgy aspect that Vivienne Westwood takes from her deep interest of punk fashion. Another striking aspect from her show is the use of one male model in three different looks. It is rare to find a male model in a women’s collection but for Vivienne Westwood we can expect all different kinds of twists. In two of his looks he resembles a man who lived in the Victorian era. He saunters down the runway in two similar frock coats that go down about calf length. One is in a soft grey color
embroidered with what looks like doilies. It’s paired with a casual long knit sweater with jersey leggings. Not your manliest outfit but an outfit that could be found on a gypsy or nomad. The other is a silk white open coat with a black consistent pattern trailing along the edges. A surprise yet funny twist to this look is a pair of knickers as the other and only layer. Truly unique and head turning. The humorous outfit would be the third look on the solo male model, a full on unbuttoned onesie in the graffiti like pattern. Even though the onesie is in a silk or neoprene like fabric but rocks it down that catwalk. To choose this specific model with a devil tattoo almost covering his whole abdomen fits the Vivienne Westwood style. We can always count on Vivienne Westwood for a show stopping collection. No detail is too much and the boundaries are always broken. She dares to be different and that is what makes her unique. Her name alone will always leave a mark on us with the remarkable shows she always presents. Her passion of daring to be different while maintaining to be herself is what we see on the catwalk on a continuous basis.

KAREN WALKER ‘whimsical + effortless’
magazine | issue one
WHEN
most women think of Karen Walker as a designer we think of her infamous cat eye sunglasses. Nonetheless, Karen Walker is a worldwide known designer for her feminine and street savvy style. In her current Spring/ Summer 2015 collection we can see the designers creativity flow onto her garments. This season takes a lot from the seventies era and a look that resembles a present day of a suburban housewife. Karen Walker takes us a few decades back to revive one of the most influential times of fashion. Watching all or most of the collections for Spring/ Summer 2015 we gather that the 70’s period is an eminent theme for all the designers this spring. Karen Walker embraces the seventies decade and presents her interpretation
of that style into her own and feminine way. We can find your typical bell-bottoms, tailored pieces, hippie and casual wear in her show. The show starts out with a retro rock band music, which takes the atmosphere to an upbeat ambiance. The spring season brings fresh faces on the models. The models are in a laidback and fun attitude going along the runway. Some are even giving the audience that sultry, sexy stare but in the most appropriate way, of course. The first look to stride on the catwalk is an oversized sun hat, a silk scarf wrapped around her head and covering her neck, a tailored 4 buttoned coat and a bright yellow printed trouser with a camel shade oxford june | twenty fifteen
‘This season takes a lot from the seventies era and a look that resembles a present day of a suburban housewife’
shoe. The instant image and thought that springs into my mind was the movie, The Stepford Wives but minus the remote controls and microchips. It is a modern touch on your stay at home mom who gardens, cooks and cleans for the household. It isn’t too cliché but a perfect interpretation of a twenty-first-century housewife. The models continue to strut down the runway in the same yellow floral pattern and soft grey-blue fabrics. She plays with both of these textiles together, mixing and matching, creating a new look each time. Both shout out the colors and prints of the spring season. A handful of models later, we start to see the seventies inspired culture. There are more oversized sun hats, scarfs that wrap around the face and neck, wide-leg bottoms, and the signature seventies look; tight on the top and loose on the bottom. The seventies era in Karen Walker’s Spring 2015 magazine | issue one
is obvious. She uses the patterns and colors that we could find from that decade. Orange isn’t the most flattering color on anyone but she works with pairing and constructing the color with soft browns, funky and retro patterns and creating patchwork that look like abstract designs for a couple of dresses and a coat. She somehow makes orange on orange work magically together. She makes the color look more appealing that it truly is. A few prime examples from this season that certainly represent the seventies are her layered looks, especially with the choice of denim, the color orange, and psychedelic prints. A little too much denim or one specific color can be overwhelming and a fashion no-no but she makes a great look by highlighting and mixing all of these elements together. Denim will always be a
trend that never dies because it is the most versatile and flattering fabric on both men and women. Denim jumpsuits, dresses, pants, and jackets also make an appearance. There are two specific layered looks that steal my attention. An orange colored floral printed top underneath what looks like a denim dress is paired exquisitely together. The other look is a three-toned patchwork dress; orange, white and brown over a psychedelic printed long sleeve. To top it all off both of the models are wearing a signature Karen Walker pair of sunnies to polish off the look. To me, these two looks characterize a young woman in the seventies. If you would put this current model beside an old image of the seventies style, it would complement each other very well. The vibrant color, the layering and attitude of the models captures the essence of the era.
There is a great mix in her spring collection. Seventies, the famous gardener Valerie Finnis, and a whole look consisting of one pattern are found in this show. The beginning started out as looks that were classics then slowly transitioned into the contemporary seventies fashion. Looking at the collection as a whole, it is hard to look at it as just one theme but going in deeper and analyzing and connecting them, we can see her true vision. It goes without saying that Karen Walker is a visionary type of woman. She plays with cultural references and incorporates them in her designs. She makes a woman look her absolute best and she makes each woman own it.

UNFOLDING THE ART OF FUTURE FASHION ‘futuristic fashion’
THE
The term fashion has a broad definition that encompasses complex components and elements. Fashion not only fits into design but also the aspect of all parts of our world. Fashion is our tool we use to express who we are as a person, or even as a collective group. It has also been considered as a type of art. There are no limits or boundaries that we can cross when we want to create and design in this type of way. The future is highly referenced with architecture, film, techniques, and especially in fashion. The future has always played an important role in the way we perceive and conduct our daily activities, dating back to when innovators would create complex and futuristic designs. We can take influences from building structures, visionary fashion designers, and the ever-changing trends in fashion. We all have our own definition of what the style and details of the futuristic fashion could consist of. Thinking ahead and designing wearable art sculptures are a start to developing the concept. From science fiction, space, to new technologies, we have taken these inspirations to fabricate, sketch and enhance our world. In fashion, the future has been
an extensive element for developing designs. We will see how the past, present and future has been a great influence on creating the futuristic fashion collections we have today. Going back a few or more decades, we can start to analyze previous lifestyles and our way of perceiving certain fashion styles and trends. We can gather that our influences come from more than just one element such as different parts of the world and the evolution of fashion dating back to the past. With this, we can see the connection with creating life that is beyond to our current understanding. All of these factors play into the constant change in fashion. In the early days, between 1900-1920, there were life-changing innovations created during this time. Some of the first developments included the production of the first car by Ford Motors, early stages of an airplane, and motorized movie cameras, and the creation of stainless steel. All of these new concepts played a huge role to where our inspirations come from and to what we depend on today. Movies like Le Voyage dans la Lune
We can gather that our influences come from more than just one element such as different parts of the world and the evolution of fashion dating back to the past.
translated to A Trip to the Moon, created in 1902 by George MÊliès, Aelita Reine des Martiens, Aelita The Queen of Martians by Yakov Protaznov in 1924 and the 1927 Metropolis film by Fritz Lang all included props and costumes that were considered ahead of their time. The early innovations were used in these movies as it was considered very unique and new to their then current lifestyles. Since there were no industrial warehouses that created all these tools in mass quantities, everything was made by hand. It is safe to say that costumes were also done the same way. There was more attention to detail and time was put into their work. While watching these black and white and without sound short films, I paid my attention to the garments and set props that were used. Since the movies are much older, current generations can perceive them as more of a vintage type of style that catered to the generation at that time. But during those days, their efforts of connecting fashion to the future relates more with their use of props, settings and theme. Even though they did not have the same materials and resources like what we do now, they managed to still create the outline of what the future meant to them. Space travel has always been of interest to us because of the intrigue of the unknown it presents. It stretches our imaginmagazine | issue one
ation, which lets us broaden our thought process. Regardless if we comprehend this time differently as they did back then, it created a starting point of inspirations for the generations ahead. Entering the early 1930’s, there were plenty of predictions of what futuristic fashion concepts would consist of. Anticipated use of textiles included plastic, metal, foil and other unconventional materials. We have even seen gadgets or technology embedded into the garment themselves. These textile appearances were featured in the first cartoon, Flash Gordon in 1936. While observing the scenes in this cartoon, the use of metal was prominent in the costumes and props. When we look back at the old cartoons, we can gather the style that they were trying to portray. The little things such as helmets, weapons and fabrics come together to get the right look when they are used in a proper manner. They used the stereotypical space ship and space travel aspects. We can see these prognoses really come alive during the iconic Space Age that occurred in the sixties. Before this time period, we could see it in bits and pieces applied to clothing.
Entering the Space Age, names like both André Courrèges and Pierre Cardin are two of the prominent designers for this time. They were and continue to be known to truly push their ideas and works to produce designs that were conceptual, specific to the future. To this day, the garments are not what you would see on a day-to-day basis but a foreshadow of what our fashion could possibly be. Analyzing this phase of Space Age and the future in fashion, we can go deeper into understanding the inspirations and why designers used what they did to achieve their ideal collections. One of the most innovative, liberal and influential designers of the 1960’s is André Courrèges. During the Space Age, he had a vision and determination for creating a new look for women that separated him from the norm of traditional wear. Taking a closer observation into his way of creating a ‘new look’ gives us a better understanding of how future fashion has evolved. His designs were the epitome of fashion in that decade. The infamous Art School in Germany, Bauhaus and the Avant Garde style were the inspirations that took place in his work as well as the industry in the modern world. Courrèges’ collections were reflected on his daily interests. The man made materials he used shows
how much detail can go into creating the right image. The structure of a simple A-Line dress could be transformed into something beyond with just altering a few elements. The details he used that are recognizable and memorable are the geometric shapes that would include abstract cut outs, the metal mini skirt created in various colors and an unconventional use of accessories. His heavy use of white, which comes from all sorts of factors, he considered this as a link to the luminosity of space and the look of being weightless. In comparison to André Courrèges, Cardin was also advanced in the way of thinking and creating. Both designers had similar visions and styles. Similarities included bright colors, man made unconventional fabrics and textiles, and space as the main inspiration. Cardin’s garments comprised of metal, vinyl, and plastics. All that would be considered unusual for everyday use but at the time, it was going beyond regular items to develop a conceptual look. Pierre Cardin’s inspirations came from architecture, shapes and space travel. His use of shapes varied from A-line, to geometric and abstract cutouts. Not only did he apply his inspirations through fashion but also through architectural designs. june | twenty fifteen
He created Espace Cardin, which was a center for almost anything. The conceptual design of the building was a true reflection of his inspirations. The designers of the Space Age embodied what it meant to be different. A common motivation for achieving the unconventional idea consisted of thinking outside of the box, using industrial materials and taking inspiration not only just in fashion but also in all aspects of our world. It was a matter of experimenting and going beyond the current trends and styles. This phase in fashion created an outlet for upcoming designers to follow in the same footsteps. Courrège and Cardin shaped the way of creativity and pushing ideas in fashion. They have become our reference when it comes to innovation, Space Age and future fashion. In today’s contemporary fashion, we can see a widespread of styles that are in connection with the past to the future. Designers are on a continuous experiment with going above and beyond in their creativity. There are distinguished fashion designers known for their striking innovations. Hussein Chalayan, Gareth Pugh, the late Alexander McQueen are a few designers that immediately come to mind linking to absolute artistry. They stretch their imagination to a point of
magazine | issue one
question. However, they manage to engage their followers and clients back for more. Some of their collections are composed of abstract shapes, space like concepts and technology that is integrated into the clothes. Current collections from these designers have exceeded expectations to creating beautiful, intricate and futuristic garments. The late Alexander McQueen has become a legend due to his darkness and bizarre aesthetic. It has been said that his inspirations has stretched to nature, musicians and even to his own illusions. Alexander McQueen had expressed himself like no other designer before. He has applied odd and unthinkable concepts to women’s wear, which became more of wearable art than ready to wear clothes. McQueen’s designs were not as futuristic in the sense of style and technology but the idea of being absolute fashion forward was his signature. The details, volumes, and shapes that he manipulated truly created an aesthetic that shall never be forgotten. A similar style to the late Alexander McQueen is British designer, Gareth Pugh. Coming from the same educational background at Central Saint Martins, both designers had a common interest for dark
energy, abstract and volume. Gareth Pugh being known as the “Prince of Darkness” has a gothic vibe that incorporates iconography. It has been said that his style and his collections are yet to be understood by the public. His collections have hints of the1960’s space age that has been blown out of proportion. Different from Pierre Cardin or André Courrèges, his collections are definitely unsuitable for everyday wear. At least collections coming from the sixties were more flexible and wearable. From cellophane to inflatable bodysuits and full coverage face accessories solely comes off as an art display rather than wearable sculptures. In his current collections, we can see that he has ventured in the path to create more pieces that are more ready to wear. If his designs were deconstructed piece-by-piece you would not expect a fashion collection to be presented. Unlike Hussein Chalayan, his futuristic elements lie with linking technology to fashion. He is lauded for his imagination on the runway and displaying a spectacle rather than a fashion show. Being recognized for his animatronic dresses, Chalayan has changed the futuristic meaning in fashion. He uses technology and brings it close to the human body. The application of LED lights embedded into
dresses, cyborg references, and electrical components make up some of his apparel. His designs are wearable to an extent and also portray a very feminine futuristic style. The way he uses unconventional materials that make up 70 to 80 percent of certain garments are exquisite. Science fiction, technology and the properties to communicate are beautifully hand crafted by Chalayan. He creates a story, a vision. Fashion is on a constant evolution. Whether we can keep up with the continuous change or not, we will always find inspirations from all over the world to include as a starting base to create. The future is inevitable and we will always seek what lies ahead. Innovative and forward thinking individuals will always be on a hunt to design something eccentric to put themselves apart from the traditions of fashion. Throughout the years we have seen the changes and similarities that fashion has to offer. I believe that from here on, we will succeed in advancing the ability to create ideas that are unimaginable. From the past to the present, we will always have the eye and desire to go beyond our means.
