Hussein
Chalayan 1970-ben született Törökországban, iskoláit már Angliában végezte,
mivel szüleivel együtt 1978-ban átköltözött a szigetországba. A dizájner,
áttöri a határokat, az öltözködést átviszi a szobrászat, a lakberendezés
valamit a performance-ok világába. Az általa tervezett darabok inkább műalkotások.
1993-ban mutatta be első kollekcióját, a Central Saint Martin végzős
hallgatójaként. Előzőleg a ruhákat hetekre a földbe ásta, a kellően megviselt
daraboknak sikerült megosztani a közönséget, vagy imádták vagy utálták a
munkáit.

Kane seems to have the bitchy resting face syndrome be a little moody, but for someone so talented, I think we can forgive something this minor. Let's see what he does!

The designer Bible - Part 14. - Christian Dior
Christian Dior was born in Granville, France in 1905. He was the second out of four children. For him to stand a chance in the world, his parents decided that they will raise him to be a diplomat, so the boy started school at the Ecole des Sciences Politiques.
In 1928 (before graduating), Christian left school to follow his dreams. He got some financial support from his father, which he used to start a smaller art gallery - he showed the paintings of the kind of Picasso and Dali. The gallery only functioned for a few years, because in 1930 the world economy crisis ruined the businesses of the family. After going bankrupt, he realized what he really wanted, closed the gallery and started sketching hats. In 1938, he was working at the Swiss Robert Piguet fashion house as a designer. In WW2 they called him in to serve, but in 1942 he returned, and joined the Lucien Lelong fashion house on the side of Pierre Balmain.
In 1945, with the help of Pierre Allemandi, he established his own fashion house, and in only 2 years, his creations were so revolutionary, that he reserved a space for himself on the pages of fashion history.
