Sip, Hussein Chalayan Spring 2012: Served by the designer himself dressed as a waiter, the champagne flutes were embedded with miniature wireless cameras, which projected real time video of the models’ mouths on a large stage-mounted screen, hence the title of the collection.
“What I wanted to do was to have the models drink champagne like they would do in a gallery, and look at the screen like they’re actually looking at something but all they see is themselves, but themselves sipping because there is a secret camera inside the glass. I thought it would be this idea of self-image, and that’s essentially what it’s about.”
