Hussein Chalayan: Transformable Garments

“One thought can lead to three forms of expression”

Hussein Chalayan

I’m interested in other ways to explore transformable garments, and Chalayan is definitely a designer familiar with this concept. He has furniture that turns into garments, garments that melt in water, paper garments, and even transformable garments.

I’m so inspired by his work and how he abstracts everyday ideas into something so beautiful. His main concepts are:

  • seperation
  • value
  • displacement
  • isolation
  • speed
  • disembodiment
  • hybrids
  • transformation
“I like the idea that you can send a dress to a loved one and maybe this dress can become a token for absence or your presence”
