He said not a word about his idea to his wife until they had returned home and he had created a decent sketch. The simple organic shirt soon replicated and multiplied, and he filled an entire sketchbook with drawings of various similar simple shirts. Later, Azie would look back upon these first items in his clothing line and fondly dub them the“ nucleotides” of Life on Earth, for they formed the building blocks of his collection. He had built a solid foundation, so Azie decided it was time to let his wife in on his little secret.
Chemmy was delighted at idea, and it was she who proposed the name“ EVOLUTION,” and eagerly took on the name Chemmy Kal EVOLUTION in return. With her help, Azie( now EVOLUTION) line was transformed from nonlife to life. His simple replicated“ nucleotides” evolved into dresses and skirts and other pieces a bit more complex. The ideas were flowing like crazy now and as Azie rushed to put all of them on paper, he would slip up here and there, mutating some of his creations as he went along. But EVOLUTION had a more careful hand. Determined to create a career for himself in the fashion world, EVOLUTION selected only the pieces he felt would be fit for sale. It was then these pieces that he would wrap in cellophane( or as he liked to call it, cell membrane-ophane) and ship to retailers.
world of Vogue has actually propelled his career in the world of science; it helps him explain how life actually did originate on the earth.
Life, he explains, arose in five steps.
One, simple organic molecules( nucleotides) formed.
Two, replicating molecules evolved and began to undergo natural selection.
Three, these replicating molecules became enclosed within a cell membrane.
Four, some cells evolved metabolic processes.
And five, multicellularity evolved. Can you see the correlation?
He is grateful today for having selected the honeymoon destination that he did, for had it not been for his time spent in the Eoarchean hydrothermal vents, he may not have had his initial idea. Today, the“ original blouse” is one of his hottest items, for it was the original blouse, Azie claims, that was the single origin of Life on Earth.
Gradually, through tedious work and tremendous patience, EVOLUTION’ S Life on Earth became widely popular. His collection expanded over time, and his items got more complex. And thanks to his dear Chemmy Kal EVOLUTIOIN, every item had life and every piece was functional as well as beautiful.
Today, the man responsible for Life on Earth not only designs haute couture as EVOLUTION, but also teaches high school biology as Professor Richard Neal Azie. He is no longer embarassed to admit his“ passion for fashion” as he was as a boy, for his career in the
Life on Earth has a single origin
