Aeroplane Dress (Hussein Chalayan) by Nick Knight shows a dress designed by Hussein Chalayan. The original Aeroplane Dress was a plastic coated, moulded dress which had moving panels operated with a remote control, reminiscent of aeroplane wings. Knight has taken an image of this dress, simultaneously deconstructing and transforming it, moving away from its original form.
