Hussein Chalayan

The designer is known for his innovative use of materials, meticulous pattern cutting and innovative use of new technology. I especially like that his inspiration for his creations is so wide and varied- architectural theory, design, science, technology, religion. However for this reason the designer has been critisised as 'too intellectual', which really sounds to me like more of a compliment.



'Fasion as Furniture' (Autumn/Winter 2000 Collection)- Furniture that mutates into dresses. Chair covers that when take off turn into dresses. Tables that transform into dresses.

Spring/Summer 2000 Collection- Dresses made from the same materials that aeroplanes are made of. Remote controlled panels on the dresses move to reveal delicate tulle petticoats.



Spring/ Summer 2008 Collection- Dresses embellished with crystals and lasers.



Autumn/ Winter 2007 Collection 'Airbourne'- adapting fashion to the weather. Hats that can be used as table lamps. Dresses that change colour through LED technology.
