If there is one thing you must do before the 17th May – it’s get down to the Design Museum (London) to see the exhibition of fashion visionary Hussein Chalayan.
It’s a wonderful treat to have the opportunity to see his unique pieces up close; he has a meticulous eye for detail that is reflected in his constant fascination with technology and the use of innovative materials.
This ex St. Martins graduate launched his own label in 1994 and has been named British designer of the year twice and is now the creative director of Puma. He regularly engages in art installations, has directed short films and designed costumes for dance performances, some of which can be seen in this exhibition.
Dates 22nd January – 17th May 2009
