Hussein Chalayan’s airmail jacket became enigmatic with electronica when it was seen on Björk’s “Post” album cover. Chalayan dominated the fashion scene the same way electronica engulfed the musical sphere. Unfortunately, he didn’t dress many of our artists, but with AI, we can see what it could’ve looked like. Now presenting, Chalayan’s takeover:
Robert Del Naja in Hussein Chalayan Fall/Winter 2000. I knew I left something under this piece of furniture…Maxim in Hussein Chalayan Spring/Summer 2000. Chic and sleek!Tricky in Hussein Chalayan Fall/Winter 1995. Sightseeing never looked so good.Madonna in Hussein Chalayan’s 2011 tulle dress. It was designed in 2000, when she was just 42 years young.Björk in Hussein Chalayan Spring/Summer 2007. This might top the airmail jacket!Portishead in Hussein Chalayan Autumn/Winter 2000. Who wore it best? My money’s on Adrian.
