Hussein Chalayan

"The project had nothing to do with furniture," he says. "It was all about the moment of trying to leave your home at a time of war. The living room was supposed to be like somebody's wardrobe. How you could hide your possessions and carry them with you? Partly it's from my background - I'm from Cyprus, which is a divided place - and partly because of Kosovo."  Quote from Hussein Chalayan

this image is taken from the 2000 spring collection of Hussein Chalayan. I am inspired by the way that he has made a day to day object wearable and yet still look fashionable. he has used a plain metal to make the skirt, however it makes a statement as it is.
