Commercialising... Chalayan

[zamb]

hussien chalayan is one of the most brillian designers around. he always brings something new and interesting to fashion. what i like about him is his work is not just about "clothes"
as someone who understand the clothing business and has seen his work firsthand, i know how his signature line can be so expensive, yet his new line be significantly cheaper, the cuts and details may be simpler, making it easier to produce, also if he is selling in large volumes, and not doing a show with this collection he can afford to keep his prices down

One of my favourite boutiques carried a lot of his spring/summer diffusion stuff this past season and it was absolutely stunning. The prices are VERY reasonable for what the garments are...not much more expensive than Jigsaw or Whistles in the UK and the garments are very special.

The only thing was that they only had tiny sizes ,and well,I'm not.Tiny,that is.

I saw that this boutique now has some A/W items in my size,but I didn't like them.

I'll have to wait until they get the rest of their stock...
