Now that Hussein Chalayan's S/S '07 'One Hundred and Eleven Collection' -incorporating showpieces from jewellery designer FLorian and a rather spectacular finalé- has been unveiled to the press and those who tuned into the special web-screening, we can now launch a specially created film courtesy of Swarovski. Documenting the entire technical and design working process, the twenty-minute film reveals the fascinating realisation of those hand-constructed mechnical dresses including the original two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings, the creation of toiles, the fitting of the electronic workings and initial tests, the fiddly attachment of thousands of Swarovski crystals, the production of the collection at the designer's London studio as well as fascinating explanatory discussion from the man himself.
