the video reminds me of a the short film "dreams that money can't buy" by marcel duchamp and john cage.

To present a collection about the dynamic between icons and their audience, fashion designer Hussein Chalayan is staging a live broadcast to create a film in collaboration with Nick Knight, Antony Hegarty and the global SHOWstudio audience.
On two yet-to-be-confirmed days scheduled for 26–28 September, we will be in the studio with Hussein Chalayan, shooting a film of his collection 'Readings': live on SHOWstudio, naturally! Joined in the studio by Antony Hegarty, it will be SHOWstudio's task to create a special soundtrack for the collection and film. This is where you, the SHOWstudio viewer come in...
We have asked Hussein Chalayan to provide a written 'treatment' that gives the creative rational for Readings, which Nick Knight has responded to and created a more literal brief for SHOWstudio viewers to follow. Read their BRIEF below and send us in your musical directions for Antony to respond to or act out. The resultant footage will be edited to create a film that will be screened to showcase the Readings collection .

In reply to maria n:
it was really really surreal for me.
and i loved how different elements were pieced together.
have you seen the t.v. film of John Cage on youtube called Water Walk?
I love the film and the effect it seems to be having all over the internet fashion chat rooms.
Is Fashion film going to replace the Catwalk?
In reply to friend:
....did you see the one : Marcel Duchamp and John Cage ?......fascinating .....
this film has got Hussein so much coverage on the internet,i guess much more than if he had just put on a conventional catwalk presentation. I wonder if that was part of the plan,publicity is so important for designers,and this has been done so intelligently and beautifully.
