The fact which FAADA, the Foundation for the Adoption, Patronage and Defence of Animals, provided Contrapunto with was absolutely decisive: 80% of the people who purchase an animal do it on impulse - people who act on the same impulses as those involved when buying a bag, a pair of earrings or a T-shirt.

En este desfile de moda se muestran creaciones de Hussein Chalayan. Vestidos que cambian de forma. Una pena que no haya ninguno para hombres…

Project Runway, indeed! The University of Tokyo recently hosted a spacewear fashion show with couture designed for weightless environments. You know how some raincoats are reversible, so you look as good in dry weather as you do in rain? So here, clothes must be directionally revsersible, and look just as good up as they do down. I’ve floated in microgravity a few times on Zero G flights, and it would sure be even more fun to float around in satin poufs instead of those pedestrian spacesuits.

Earlier this month, Hussein Chalayan wowed the Paris runway audience (and the blogs!) with five dresses that twitch, move, and morph through decades of their own accord. Zippers closed, cloth gathered, and hemlines rose.
