Chalayan, Burka, 1996
Hussein Chalayan, Afterwords, 2000
1.In my opinion，I really like Hussein Chalayan's clothing and appreciate his bold originality. He's clothing are often challenging to both the viewer and the wearer, especially Burka(1996). As everyone knows the custom of Muslim is more special because women cannot revealing too much skin in the public, bachelorette protect their face to avoid strangers can see it. Hussein Chalayan break the rules, he created wild thinking and put his ideas into effect. His idea gives the viwers strong culture shock, he used his own way to express's feeling about what is fashion mean.
I think these two works are genuine fashion, Chalayan's clothing not only can give people eye effect, they also utility in the real word. Afterwords(2000) was an amazing fashion because he used different textures which was nobody else used before, he created kind of new trend -Metal style. Whatever his clothing nice look or not, he successed of his show on the stage of people it amazed.
Not all clothing is fashion, so what makes Chalayans fashion fashion? I think his works are often express a concept. He always keep consistent design style and develop clothing that others don't sectors, relative to fashion, he chose pragmatic, relative to luxury, he chose to design. Therefore I do think his clothing can be called fashion.
2.Chalayan has strong links to industry. He put his wild idea associated with business and balance up, creating market clothes which has hit the market trend and so popular. He through the experiment many times and put the creative clothing to everybody by Clothing stores. I do not think the meaning of art change when it is used to sell products. It is still can be called art because he bring beautiful fashion to people and give our hope that concept can be real and perfect.
3. About his film also different express his concept, It features the process of caring for worn clothes, and retrieving and analysing the traces of the wearer, in the form of DNA. He was concerned with almost exists in the imagination of the future generation, fundamental for the society now difficult to understand. He is to belong to next even after next era of designers.
The ways they might have inspired Chalayan’s approach which was his project for venice biennale last year was a strong experience. the one before that called place to passage, which he toured with, was a film. His collections are always challenging and
he get a lot out of them. all the projects have a different impact on him. He make a real effort to push himself as far as possible with each one.

Many of Chalayan’s pieces are physically designed and constructed by someone else; for example, sculptor Lone Sigurdsson made some works from Chalayan’s Echoform (1999) and Before Minus Now (2000) fashion ranges. In fashion design this is standard practice, but in art it remains unexpected. 'The Tangent Flows' was a concepet based on his experiment, it is important that the artist personally made the piece like Chalayan's experiment, after that his design concept have tremendous influence. His success due to his full of emotions, every time he create clothing, he does not happy only finish the standrad practice, for him is a huge mankind step and he do the works by himself completely.
