FASHION: Research: Hussein Chalayan, Yoji Yamamoto, Comme de Garcons, Royle college fashion show

Hussein Chalayan is a British/Turkish Cypriot Fashion Designer.

I love clothing that is pretty as well as being something different, clothing that makes a statement.  Chalayan does this with some of his designs, as you can see in the images below  by creating a interesting wind swept sharpness in shapeiness within the clothing. He uses a new type of metal called palladium which allow his designs to be wearable. Palladium is strong even though it is light in weight...so not just a pretty dress.
