hussein chalayan...

I went with my housemate, who studies FPI, to the Hussein Chalayan exhibition at the Design Museum, and although its not got anything to do with poverty and wealth or photography, i found it incredibly inspiring and interesting! The creativity involved within his fashion designs is out of this world and the general feel of the exhibition was very futuristic and kept me engaged throughout.

It became apparent that the clothes he designs are not for high street fashion, but challenges the notions of fashion and takes it to a new level by creating designs which are so complex and experimental in their futuristic nature. One piece that stood out as being incredibly successful was a set of three costumes on a slow spinning platform, contained in a glass room that were rigged with several lasers. As the costumes were being moved around the red lasers created exciting patterns as it reflected from the glass, it was just something every different and unique.
