how much of a difference are the 'runway' clothes versus the 'reality' clothes sold in stores? is the runway just a big hoax ! Are designers that insecure to show the real dealon the runway? damn style.com for showing every single piece ready to be copied.

********************************************************************
First and foremost, Chalayan now wants us to look at his clothes. And how wearably, beautifully in sync with the current dialogue about fifties couture/fur trim/pretty dresses those clothes turned out to be. Chalayan opened with a black fake-fur hooded coat, a fur-collared skirtsuit, and a sculptural fur-trimmed cape sitting atop a waisted bodice and a bubble skirt. Right there, without labored references, he nailed his claim to reinterpreting the silhouette, emphasizing a neat torso with gentle volume beneath. Chalayan’s original mind makes the leap from old world to new by fusing in elements of modern sportswear. He cuts jackets that incorporate trompe l’oeil boleros, horn duffel-coat toggles, baseball jacket-style knit ribbing, and frilled peplums—and still look unfussy. He’s also doing his part to ease along the changing shape of trousers with his neat-waisted, wide-leg sailor pants. Chalayan’s dusty-pink shearling jackets and coats, cut to a slim, flattering line with luxurious high collars, had more of those little peplums in back. And he ended by proving—to any remaining disbelievers—that he has a sensitive touch with eveningwear. After a few elegantly drapey silk-printed, thirties looks, he closed with short puffball dresses appliquéd with patches of embroidery. Later, Chalayan said that his show was based on the concept of solitude and personal identity. Perhaps, as an independent, self-financing designer amid a globalized industry, he feels those pressures more than others do. But in this collection, the aloneness of his talent shone with an exceptional brightness. –

for me he is BEYOND a fashion designer and i really want to see him around in next 20 years (without loosing his ideals and spark )
but fashion industry is a cruel world , if you design something to sell for they call you TOM FORD and blame you not being an ARTIST ...
and if you design something starry eyed / different / abnormal / spectecular but couldn't find a BIG BROTHER to sell it, they called you HUSSEIN CHALAYAN and left you alone .
i don't know maybe i am so naive or it is not simple like i stated here ...
anyway let's enjoy beautifullllllllllll designs of my HUSSEIN CHALAYAN and let's fingers crossed

another piece...it's hard to see in the picture all the pintucks in the front of the dress that make it so flattering...beautiful sweetheart neckline... 
i'm sooo glad he's finally doing clothes that are easier to wear...this collection will do very well at retail...imo

ohh i'm so sorry but i really can't see anything appealing in this collection,were is Chalayan's spirit? this is too common and even though detailed, quite boring.. even the grey dress i liked (v-neck jersey top) has the wrong (petal) skirt
making even model's hips look huge Similar Threads
