Transformers were major when i was little and i used to play with them all the time. There was something very fascinating about the idea of changing shapes and creating something from nothing.
A Turkey-born, CSM graduate fashion designer Hussein Chalayan has taken this idea to the runway. For his S/S 07 collection, he presented clothes inspired from the past 111 years of fashion and chose to demonstrate this idea using robotic garments that moved around and shifted their form.
I think this is a really good example of 'geek meets fashion' because, even thought certain aspects of geek has been accepted into the mainstream, suck as thick framed glasses and rolled up trousers, Hussein's collection was something that took this idea further and used what geeks excel at in fashion to create his vision.
