Hussein Chalayan

I first came across Hussein Chalayan in my foundation course last year, when I was doing my final major project on 'phobias'. I looked at him as I was producing a fashion piece as my final piece and was looking into ideas to represent claustrophobia etc. Whilst looking at some of his collections I gained ideas on how using unusual materials and different tehniques could represent these ideas. But I also just think his work is amazing and he sometimes takes such a simple idea and makes it really cool.
