I found this image in the 'Global Fashion Local Tradition' and it really inspired me for my design process and inspiration for my final collection and the way I can use the traditional Hmong dress and translate it into contemporary fashion. Hussein Chalayan is best known for his experimental installations and designs. His fascination for new technology results in an innovative use of materials and experimental forms. His inspiration often comes from his own cultural heritage, clothing customs and traditions of Turkish-Cypriot to then translate them into advanced and fashionable designs. This is an outfit and the design process from his Ambimorphous collection which is based on traditional Turkish/Ottoman costume. It starts with a model in full traditional costume and with each model following a section of the costume was simplified and replaced by a black area eventually resulting in simple, contemporary wearable clothes.
