His particular eye and style has brought him to be considered one of the best Birtish designers of his generation. He has participated in exhibitions and solo shows too.\r\n\r\nIn the SS16 collection, he takes advantage of his interest for other artistic disciplines with the \"Plonk\", an illustrated character originally created by Joan M Davies in the 1940\u2019s. Chalayan uses this character as an inspiration to portray various scenarios in Cuba, whilst also capturing all the developments taking place after the revolution. For instance he uses it as a single print or as knitwear.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"nextgen_pro_blog_gallery\" id=\"displayed_gallery_11255\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"image-wrapper\" style=\"width: 500px\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-12.jpg\"\n\t\t   title=\"\"\n           data-src=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-12.jpg\"\n           data-thumbnail=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/thumbs\/thumbs_Chalayan-ss16-12.jpg\"\n           data-image-id=\"5035\"\n           data-title=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n           data-description=\"\"\n\t\t   class=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"11255\">\n\t\t   \t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-alt=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n                width=\"500\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-12.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<noscript>\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-12.jpg\"\n          width=\"500\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-1\" class=\"image-wrapper\" style=\"width: 500px\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-16.jpg\"\n\t\t   title=\"\"\n           data-src=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-16.jpg\"\n           data-thumbnail=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/thumbs\/thumbs_Chalayan-ss16-16.jpg\"\n           data-image-id=\"5037\"\n           data-title=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n           data-description=\"\"\n\t\t   class=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"11255\">\n\t\t   \t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-alt=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n                width=\"500\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-16.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<noscript>\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Chalayan ss16\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/chalayan-ss16\/Chalayan-ss16-16.jpg\"\n          width=\"500\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n\r\nLikewise, the key role that music plays in Cuban daily life is depicted through graphic prints of dancing couples embellished with Swarovski crystals strips over the dancing figures emphasizing their movement.\r\n\r\nCuba\u2019s famous cigar industry, is shown in the various steps of preparation as textbook illustrations.
