Hussein Chalayan, récits de mode

Hussein Chalayan

5 July–11 December 2011

Hussein Chalayan at Musee Arts Décoratifs, Paris

Following his own unique approach to design for seventeen years, he stands on the frontier of fashion, architecture and design
. His work is characterized by an intellectual rigor and a quest for technical perfection that often defies fashion stereotypes. Chalayan stood out from the start of his career through his highly inventive exploration of various mediums, including sculpture, furniture, video and special effects, which he uses in his fashion shows, drawing inspiration directly from the political, social and economic realities of his era
.
The exhibition showcases this rich, complex world, in which clothing, installations, fashion shows, projections and research are shown by side to illustrate Chalayan’s distinctive process.
