Hussein Chalayan's Spring 2007 RTW was one of the first catwalk videos that I remember being shown and leaving me completely gobsmacked. What you first thought was just an average high fashion catwalk with weird and wonderful shapes and colours turned out to be much more. The whole collection was incorporated with electronics, so the outfits would change form as the model wore it, completely by itself. I'd never seen anything like it. Chalayan's collections almost always incorporate something unusual - which is what inspires me most. Designers such as these who aren't afraid to experiment with new things and push the boundaries of fashion are the ones that I think we should be looking to the most - they are the leaders and changers of fashion.
