Chalayan is an experimental, forward thinking, fashion designer. Awhile back, Todd and I went to the AIA exhibition The Fashion of Architecture: Constructing the Architecture of Fashion. It was there that I learned of his work. We also took pictures!

His airmail dress is made from Tyvek envelopes, typically used for packaging.

Most of all, I really love this sugar glass dress. I think the charm is in smashing it off.

    material: bioglass, glass that contains silicon, calcium and sodium oxides.
    I first heard of bioglass in an article about biojewelry bone rings.
    Bioglass is a material typically used to replace bones. It replicates the structure, and can be sculpted to the relative site of repair. Artist Paddy Hartley and Dr Ian Thompson have been working on producing bioglass castings.
    More Information/Pictures Project Facade, Biojewellery Project and Biocompatible Ceramics.
