video kinda NSFW towards the very end
Hussein Chalayan's been melding industrial and fashion design with a twist of technology throughout his collection of wearable experiments for over 7 years now--and we even mentioned him in an olde article on smart fabrics, back in the day. This video from Chalayan's Spring '07 show spotlights some of his latest work in the form of mechanical dresses that transform between two completely different looks. Most pieces start out somewhat conservative only to shift gears into a flirtier frock, and "flirtatious" is an understatement when describing the very last piece. Chalayan's creations are elegant, mesmerizing, and a happy holiday away from regurgitated, cycled-through fashion trends.
