Hussein Chalayan is a British/Turkish Cypriot fashion designer who wowed everyone with his beautiful f/w collection; which was on show at Paris Fashion Week.
Born in Cyprus, Hussein Chalayan moved to England at age 12 and attended Central Saint Martins. His graduate collection, which included designs he had buried with iron fillings to see how the material would decompose, launched him onto the international scene.
Chalayan f/w collection featured three transformation dresses which the internet fell in love with. The dramatic effect of a model tearing up her dress to reveal another, just as beautiful, dress beneath it is mesmerising . For his F/W 2013 collection, Chalayan said;
“I wanted to reference ascendancy in the backdrop. It really was about the idea of creating a reluctant spirit and capturing an earthbound element as it leaves the body.”

I'm not the only one who has fallen in love with this collection and his genius idea for two-in-one dresses, all in fact all the tumblr fashion bloggers are in love with it too; constantly reblogging gifs of the dramatic transformation dresses. Not only are these silhouettes gorgeous the prints and colors amazing, but they make my engineering affinity go sky high with mucho amor! This is a priceless collection.
