Chalayan for your Wall

I'm always looking for small things to enliven my little studio from its Scandinavian sameness and found this eerily beautiful limited edition poster from the Design Museum's Shop for about 20 bucks.

Hussein Chalayan has an exhibit showcasing his techno-sexy creations at London's Design Museum and if you're short of the necessary funds to jet over to see his wondrous designs in person, this poster could stem some of your intense Chalayan longing.

She looks like she's about to meld with the wall, stationary but seemingly in motion, propelled by the same force whipping her dress into sleekly streamlined points.


Here's a close-up on a similar Chalayan creation so you can better admire the molded tail.

Crazy! these look like dresses made by walking through a wall of paint and having it freeze, also somewhat reminiscent of the Umberto Boccioni statue you blogged about awhile ago...me thinks sb likes her art and fashion in motion, i concur
