Aristos Constantinou was known for developing a distinctive chenille fabric used for coats, jackets, and skirts in tonal striped patterns, which became strongly associated with Carnaby Street fashion of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric features diagonal striping in black, grey, and white in a textured chenille weave that gives the garment structure and visual depth.
