Hussein Chalayan

Hussein Chalayan attended Central Saint Martins and graduated in 1993, with a collection titled “The Tangent Flows”, where he experiments not only with fabrics and patterns but also with the techniques he applies to the fabrics. In “The Tangent Flows” he buried all the clothes in his backyard once they were finished, and dug them up before his end-of-year show. This collection was a rebellion against the contemporary man, whom he believes to be miserable, this feeling is what makes him want to wear rubbish. I love the idea of burying fabric and leaving it and seeing what the outcome is, the earthy feel and colours remind me of the red brick of Manchester.
