…not that the juxtaposition is a surprise. Chalayan is known for his structured creations and inventive eye. I love his selection of Iekeleine Stange and Ann Catherine Lacroix (Below; he also had two other spreads with Serafima and Tanya D.) shot by Amy Troost. Basically, I think this captures his brand perfectly, and serves as an excellent jumping-off point for future campaigns.
Anne Catherine’s robot bustier is both sexy and slightly crash-test-dummy grotesque; Chalayan’s clothes get me thinking. Like any conceptual designer, it takes the right kind of woman to present his pieces, and the intellectual beauties chosen for this campaign fulfill that role efficiently and gracefully.
