Hussein Chalayn @ Design Museum

Recently I went the design museum to see Hussein Chalayan exhibition who is renowned for his innovative use of materials, and new technology.

•This exhibition is the first comprehensive presentation of Hussein Chalayan’s work in the UK. Spanning fifteen years of experimental projects, the exhibition explores Hussein Chalayan's creative approach, his inspirations and the many themes which influence his work.
•Exhibits include ‘Afterwords’ which explores the notion of ‘wearable, portable architecture’ in which furniture literally transforms itself into garments;

•One hundred and eleven is inspired by the way in which world events over the course of a century have influenced and shaped fashion.
•The highlights of the collection include dresses that morph to capture different
silhouettes a decade at a time,
•Each of the five beautifully hand constructed, mechanical dresses, represent a
retrospective of one hundred and eleven years of fashion engineered through a
complex and very contemporary vision.
