This post is not as you might think about the latest in geek chic. ‘Drippy clothes’ is the best way that I could think of to describe the avant garde creations of Hussein  Chalayan showcased in his spring summer 2009 show. The latex moulded body suits and dresses appeared to literally drip from the models bodies. As if they had  been laid down or moving very fast whilst wear a fluid outfit. Hussein Chalayan who is  known for his cutitng edge designs and innovation as well as his art, produced a stunning collection which, whilst not something that many would wear was definitely inspirational and very visually pleasing.

The collection also featured some great designs handpainted onto the dresses and inspired by crushed cars. Something about the speed of our lives and how it can only end in a crash. That is far too philosphical for me and I would much rather enjoy looking at the fashion rather than thinking about it too much.

For a much more wearable but very stylish variation on the fluidity theme pioneered by Hussein Chalayan, try wearing beautifully fluid materials like silk. I love this black silk flower jaquard dress.
