LONDON–Possibly the only thing more death-defying than the leap from model to actress is the rarely attempted feat of fashion designer-turned-artist. But for two time “British Designer of the Year” and creative director of PUMA, Hussein Chalayan, these acrobatics are child’s play.
The Cypriot-born, London-raised designer first came to fashion by way of architecture, not surprising for those familiar with the tremendous technical construction and futuristic materials he is best known for.
Think airplane wings, folding table, foam molded car crashes and yes, I am talking about dresses.
Chalayan’s first solo art exhibit entitled “I am Sad Leyla” is currently showing at London’s Lisson Gallery through October 8.
