Sunday in Paris = exhibit time! I went to the musée des Arts Décoratifs near the Louvre to see Hussein Chalayan’s exhibit. Hussein Chalayan’s work is at the intersection of fashion, design and architecture. He was born in 1970 in Cyprus and moved to London where he graduated from the famous Central St Martins College in 1993.
For me, the peak of the exhibit was undoubtly watching his 2006 Spring & Summer collection ‘One hundred and eleven’. The clothes transform into a totally different style via a mechanical system that is invisible to the eyes. Simply spectacular and fascinating.
Sarah Mower wrote in more detail about it.
Watch the show, clothes transformation starting at 9:00
