Hussein Chalayan - The Fashion Innovator

HUSSEIN CHALAYAN AT THE DESIGN MUSEUM, LONDON 2009

Hussein Chalayan is my favorite fashion designer, his experimental design concepts, curiosities, and creativity inspired me a lot. Currently, his personal exhibition is showing in the Design Museum of London.

Literally, he is not only a fashion designer, also an innovator and pioneer of merging design and technology in the creation of fashion, it may possibly because of his architectural background. This exhibition provided a chance to display his iconic creations within this 15 years. Not only in the perspective of design, also beyond the boundaries of imagination and vision of future.

"Panoramics" Collection were launched on 1998/99, the above visual installation revealed the designer how represent the differences of self and others.

Another experimental design was created in year 2000, called "Before Minus Now Collection", which was a design collection about the hidden illness of artificial intelligence.

The red one, "Reading" collection was the works of year 2008, the dramatic lighting effects became the most big impact to us.

"Airborne" collection was launched on 2007/08, the most amazing moment was came from the usage and creation of the "lighting" textile.
