1995 and S/S 1996

s/s 1995

TEMPORARY INTERFERENCE

This collection of garments revolves around a board game Chalayan created which was to do with jumping off a great height to reach the Divine. The balloons used on the dress above, is an idea he returns to later on in his career.

a/w 1995

ALONG FALSE EQUATOR

This collection is about different variations of flight paths on clothes representing the notion of being in two places at once. If I'm honest on this one I don't really understand the theme in relation to the garments.

s/s 1996

NOTHING/INTERSCAPE

Inspired by Noah's Arc and the Armageddon. The garments indicate what might happen to a body during this final battle, and the surgical corset represents an injured body after a potential disaster. I'm not particularly interested in this collection but I do love the corset and what it represents.
