As much as we loved Hussein’s electronic contraption dresses, we are fully aware that as far as we are concerned, they about have as much to do with our everyday wardrobe as our toaster.
That’s why we got a crush on this blue shadow puppet t-shirt from the Hussein Chalayan e-shop.
It’s about $90, and as far as we know, it does not open or close while you are wearing it.
We were initially attracted to the shirt because it has a horse (cute!) and shadow puppet hands (nostalgia!), but then we read more about the concept, which is meant as a “playful interpretation of surveillance and CCTV where hand movements reproduce the shadow of a horse’s head, transforming sinister shadows associated with being watched into a game.”
The wording slightly boggles our mind, but we agree with the sentiment.
And the cute horsie!

What I do love about Hussein – and Gareth Pugh actually – is how they have a really artistic vision for all their clothes. There are very few people who could make me wear a mechanical dress (especially the disappearing one from a year ago), but I think HC could be in with a chance. It’s great to have a story behind your fashion sometimes…in case conversation runs dry.

Maybe he’s mocking Stella McCartney’s now infamous horse-emblazoned collection for Chloe a few years back? You know, “a playful interpretation of the fact that people paid so much money for dresses with horses on them”?
