ECHOFORM

This collection is based on the idea that everything we do is an externalization of the body. Again, it's about speed and Chalayan takes direct inspiration from the interiors of cars and planes. The last monumental garment the 'aeroplane' dress operated electronically. From this, Chalayan subsequently went on to make a film with Marcus Tomlinson.
